Perhaps this is a little OT for orienteering but I'll post it anyway.
The Canadian men's marathon record is now 36 years set by Jerome Drayton in 1975 in a time of 2:10:09
Canada now has some faster marathoners with Hamilton's Reid Coolsaet leading the way. Last year Reid ran the fastest marathon time by a Canadian on Canadian soil in 2:11:23. This year he wants the record.
GHO member, Paul Trebilcock (AP name = turbo), has been filming Reid's progress and will be at the Toronto marathon this Sunday to capture more video as Reid prepares for London. Thanks to Paul, Reid gave a very inspirational talk to our Adventure Running Kids program last autumn so there are many people that hope he will break this record.
Check out Paul's videos of Reid at VO2 max youtube link.
