Kenya's Martin Mathathi wins Great North Run in record time

There was double success for Kenya in the Great North Run with Martin Mathathi setting a course record of 58 mins 56 secs in the men's race, and Lucy Karbuu first in the women's.

Karbuu was a surprise winner in one hour, seven minutes and six seconds, with Portugal's Jessica Augusto second.
British pair, Jo Pavey and Helen Clitheroe warmed up for the 2012 London Olympics with fine runs.
Pavey, 37, finished fourth while Clitheroe followed her home in fifth.
Mathathi, who won bronze in the 10,000 metres at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, took nine seconds off Zersenay Tadese's 2005 record of 59.05 with a storming run that saw him pull away from the field in the second half of the event.
His time ranks in the top six all-time for a half-marathon.
Fellow Kenyan Jonathan Maiyo had been the first to make a break, pulling clear after five miles, but Mathathi had overtaken him by the eight-mile mark and proceeded to ease further in front.
Maiyo settled for second, 31 seconds back, while London Marathon winner Emmanuel Mutai was third in a time of 59.52.
"I couldn't believe [the time]," Muthathi said. "My manager told me maybe I could run a 59-minute race and he gave me a lot of motivation and encouragement."
The women's race was dominated by Kabuu, who had joined defending champion Berhane Adere in pushing the pace early on but then broke clear by the five-mile mark.
The Kenyan quickly established a big lead and was soon out of sight, only just missing out on breaking the 67-minute mark as she finished in 67.06.
Only nine women have completed a half-marathon in under 67 minutes.
Kabuu's time was the third best in the history of the Great North Run in only her second race back after giving birth to a daughter, Angel.
"I have trained well, and I expected to win the race," Kabuu said. "I was expecting to run a good time today."
Shelly Woods won the women's wheelchair race in a time of 50.14 for her third victory in the event.
Josh Cassidy from Canada set a new a course record in a time of 37.52 to win the men's event.
