    The water has made cornering quite difficult here. That was a bit revealing. 

    It could come into play more later on when the corners become a little tighter.

    I hope we don't see people falling, this is the real test of pure distance running

    Men's marathon (from 13:30 BST)

    Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge has won the last two London marathons - silver and bronze medals he won in the 5000m at Beijing and Athens respectively - but he's missing an Olympic title. 

    He's the favourite in a field that also includes defending champion Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda, and Eritrea’s Ghirmay Ghebreslassie, who became the youngest ever winner of a World Championships road event by taking gold in Beijing last summer.

    Britain’s three-strong squad includes Eritrean-born Olympic debutant Tsegai Tewelde - eight years after claiming political asylum while representing Eritrea at an international cross-country meeting in Edinburgh. 

    A former goat herder and the victim of a land mine explosion aged eight, he is one of three Scots – brothers Callum and Derek Hawkins are the other two – in this race.

    Leigh Riseley: I may never make the Olympics but watching @Mo_Farah, external has inspired me to run my fastest 5k and 10k. 

    Paul Ivey: Ran 5km on the treadmill to be like @Mo_Farah, external. He beat me by 11mins and 36 seconds! Didn't get disqualified though!

    Emma K: The #Olympics, external have definitely helped me to #getinspired, external and get back in the gym. Even just running will be challenge - but one worth doing.

    It has been a wonderful experience to work at the Rio Games.

    From meeting people from across the world to the professional challenges that come at venues thrown together for such an event, no two days have been the same.

    There was of course the 'lucky' Japanese mascot boarding the bus after two defeats where over 90 points were shipped...

    The moments where the joy and despair of sport meshed into one...

    Great Britain beat Argentina

    The terrible food at venues...

    And those moments where athletes upset the odds, ensuring life will never quite be the same again.
