2017 London Marathon Opening Press Conference Part 1

The Virgin Money London Marathon Press conferences are fantastic events. Moderated by 1984 Olympian and two time World Cross silver medalist Tim Hutchings, the shows have the feel of a Graham Norton Talk show, except there is little drinking beforehand.

We missed the women’s elite conferences, but the mens, on this day, were quite good. Please enjoy the thoughts on running and training by some of the finest athletes in the world. In this case, Feyisa Lelisa, Abel Kirui, Ghirmay Ghebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele and Bedan Karoki.
