Mara must surely be capable of a 2:22-2:23 time in London now. I feel as though she's been capable of it for a few seasons. She was on this pace for about 30km at the FLM in 2006 and she ran 2:25 at the FLM in 2007, despite running without a pacemaker (or anyone) for nearly all of the race in blistering temperatures.

Great! Tosa runs sub-71 minutes! Looks like she has changed her mind about retirement.
