I'm going for 3:25. I think she's capable of running quicker but the temptation to talk on the TV and promote her charity will be too great and take 10-15 minutes off her time. Nice one G, not many people will get a WR marathon on the fetch calculator, although if I put in my best 800m time done when I was 18 I get a 2:20 marathon time |

I don't get the feeling she's done many long runs - injury forcing rest, etc. That might just hit home in the last 10k - put me down for 50pence on 3:20 |

Ok. I am on the green start behind the celebs. My goal 2:59:59. I am gonna pace her all the way then beat her over the last 800.

I wouldn't bet against Kelly when it's down to 800 metres even now, Baz!

Oh Kelley's been sandbagging a la Athens. Ooh I'm injured, I'm not fit, look at Paula she's a dead cert etc etc. She'll win in a sprint finish. 2:17..... |

Kelley Holmes, 46 years old, 800 metre specialist. Women (in general) are better at endurance than men. If it was a man (800m specialist) I reckon sub-4 would just about be achievable. As women (in general) are better. 3:44:33 |

3.12. She's too competitive to let this go easily! She's been having injections in her back apparently
