An interesting runner, who was once a top club runner in New Zealand, called Bill O'Connor of Queens Park Harriers has run every single London Marathon since it began in 1981. He got round this year, now as an Over 75 year old, in 5:50:32. He said afterwards, “I suppose as it is only six months to the next London Marathon I will have to start training for it now!"
