45 years and counting – can anyone break Seb Coe's long-standing British 800m record, which was set on this day in Florence in 1981?

Keely Hodgkinson runs 1:54.33 UK record in Stockholm 800m but beaten by Audrey Werro's 1:53.98.
Big shock? Maybe not, as the 22-yr-old Swiss athlete has always looked like a potential threat with Euro U20 and U23 titles in recent years.
Femke Bol watching with interest 😰

Enjoyed chatting to Paul Larkins & John Brewer about @athleticsweekly, changes in the sport over the years and why there should definitely be a museum of British athletics.

Seb Coe told @athleticsweekly in December that Max Burgin needed to start winning races in order to build confidence and then faster times would come.
And Burgin isn't wasting time following his advice.

💎 With 50 days to the Diamond League in London, Keely Hodgkinson has signed up to run the 800m.
But she also has an ambitious plan to break various barriers in other events during her career.

Readers of @athleticsweekly may claim to despise the Enhanced Games, but the surge in clicks, comments and debate suggests athletics cannot resist the lure of controversy.

Older runners often struggle with heart issues caused by years of extreme training.
❤️🩹 Super shoes are allowing athletes to train harder than ever, but can our hearts cope?

Long before Sabastian Sawe's exploits in London, Jim Alder set a world best in the 'two-hour run' in Walton.
The Morpeth Harrier covered 23.6 miles in a pair of Dunlop Red Flash trainers on a cinder track and won the Commonwealth title two years later.

Marius Bakken's brilliant new book on the Norwegian Method not only explains notorious 'double threshold' sessions in detail but concepts like muscle tone, golden zones, X-sessions and more.

As well as multiple articles in @athleticsweekly, I suggested in @BritishGQ back in 2017 that the sub-2hr marathon was very much possible.

Stanley Baker believed the sub-2hr marathon was possible more than half a century ago in the Michael Winner movie "The Games".

A fine day for British marathon men on the streets of London but the gulf between them and the world's best just got even bigger.

The sub-2hr marathon has been described as “impossible” over the years by esteemed scientists and top-class ex-athletes. They said the same about the sub-4min mile.

What a day for adidas. Its new Adizero Adios Pro 3 was worn by sub-2hr marathons Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha plus women's winner Tigist Assefa.

They said it couldn't be done but Sabastian Sawe has smashed the two-hour barrier for the marathon in London with 1:59:30 🔥🔥🔥
Faster than Eliud Kipchoge's time trial sub-2hr from 2019 too.
Full coverage coming soon on the @athleticsweekly website.

The Mini London Marathon goes from strength to strength and it'll be interesting to see if anyone from the 'class of 2026' reaches the highest level as a senior athlete.

The last time Glasgow held a major international cross-country champs, winners included John Treacy, Grete Waitz & junior one-hit wonder Mick Morton, all played out in wet & windy weather.
Now the venue is set to stage next year's Euro Cross.

The Euro Cross news ends months of speculation as it was clear last autumn that a number of British cities, most notably Cardiff, were in the race to stage this prestigious event.

In 1978 @athleticsweekly featured junior winner Mick Morton on its cover after the World Cross in Glasgow, but alongside him was relative unknown Said Aouita, who set off too fast and faded to 34th but went on to break multiple world records.
