262 Starting the Season for Sports 4

Everyone considered Jake a rival in this race, but still expected to have many chances to win, a marathon is a race that can always have an unexpected result, the weather of the day, the temperature and even the condition of the athletes had to be taken into account to the result.

Rarely did an athlete dominate the marathon events for many years without any rivals, it showed how unpredictable the sport was in its results, Jake also knew it and so always made such a hard training routine.

The winner of this event in Jake's past life was Paul Evans, this was a special year in which two UK athletes won this event in men and women, a result that has rarely happened in history.

Paul Evans was the toughest opponent Jake faced in a marathon, after all, Paul's final time was less than 2 hours and 9 minutes, only 1 time Jake managed to run in less than 2 hours and 9 minutes in his previous marathons.
