Sawe’s record breaking run is absolutely incredible and no-one can take that from him. The numbers are there, the effort and feat is undeniable.

But I won’t stand by and listen to the erasure of Kipchoge’s sub-2 hour marathon.

I obviously don’t know the full picture, butThe Works closing down their online store to focus only on their bricks and mortar shops is an unexpected decision.
