Sabastian Sawe: ‘I was not thinking to run a world record’ at London Marathon

Sabastian Sawe has admitted to the BBC that he was surprised to break the marathon world record in London, becoming the first person to run an official sub-two-hour race.

Before securing sporting immortality by finishing in 1:59:30, the Kenyan underwent 12 months of frequent drug testing, including 25 out-of-competition tests before last September’s Berlin Marathon.

He suffered a stress fracture in his foot during that race and has also had back issues which put his participation in doubt for London.
