    More on Callum Hawkins' impressive victory against a world-class field in Glasgow.

    He beat three-time Commonwealth Games champion Moses Kipsiro in the race, setting a new Scottish record, and becomes the first Scottish winner of the Great Scottish Run since Peter Fleming in 1983.

    Hawkins' time of one hour 22 seconds is the second fastest British half marathon of all time, behind four-time Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah.

    "I just wanted to get it done. I am on nights tonight so I have got to get home and get ready for my shift," says the firefighter.

    "The atmosphere was incredible."

    I give you the new Guiness World Record holders for the fastest half marathon in a super hero costume.

    Robin: "We are both inside the record. We finished in 69 and 70 minutes so we beat the record of 75 minutes. 

    "It is the hardest thing ever. It was so warm, we started at a decent pace but we turned to each other saying it was way too hot!"

    Batman: "We planned to run together but I had cramp at about eight kilometres so I told him to move on."

    Callum Hawkins can't believe it. That is an absolutely incredible performance.

    What a run. What a performance. Only the great Mo Farah is faster than that.

    With those split times for three miles, I think he's run a personal best for 5,000m.

    That's unbelievable at this stage of a race.

    Any athlete who can do something like that at this stage of a race is just incredible.

    Tudor Gwynn Suganami Jones (see 10:08) is well on his way around the course. It has not been easy but in true warrior spirit he's fighting his way through.

    His suit of armour ways 26kg and Tudor only started running seriously in February having given up smoking. 

    Watch the video above for an update on his progress.

    Of course both the Cardiff Half Marathon and Great Scottish Run would not happen without the help of so many volunteers, like this lot who will be helping out on the water stations in Cardiff......
