London Marathon

BBC2, 8.30am & BBC1, 9.25am

Runners of all ages and abilities will have butterflies in their stomach this morning as they get set to take part in the epic race. While athletics fans have high hopes for Team GB pair Mo Farah and Charlotte Purdue, it’s the amateurs – many running on behalf of a charity – who are to be admired for pushing themselves through the pain barrier. Highlights on BBC2 at 5.20pm.
