Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, speaking to BBC after completing the London Marathon: "About four and a half hours, something like that. At my age that is not bad. I need to be quick, I need to be there at half-time."

On running a marathon compared to owning the club: "There are some parallels I have to say, but it just requires some grit. Running a marathon after 30km is difficult. We're not there with football yet. One of the biggest problems with football is you get these new guys coming into the team, they're capable people but they're all on gardening leave. It's a big problem in football. The fans are impatient. It's a journey, they have to be patient. It's not a light switch. We will turn it around."

On a potential new stadium: "I think that would be fantastic for the north of England. The industrial revolution started there, it's why Old Trafford was built. To regenerate the area and build a Wembley of the north would be fantastic."

A little earlier Kenyan Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir won the London Marathon in a new women's-only world record time - the fastest time in a race without male pace makers.

World record holder Tigst Assefa, Megertu Alemu, also of Ethiopia, and Kenya's Joyciline Jepkosgei also beat the previous women's only record of 2:17:01, set by Mary Keitany in 2017.

The winner of the men's wheelchair race, Marcel Hug, speaking to BBC: "It was a really amazng race but it was also really tough. The conditions were tough, there was a lot of wind. I tried many times to break away and it finally happened.

"So many great memories here, some tight finishes. I was lucky today I could go away a little bit earlier. The crowd is always amazing. For us, it's really amazing. It's great. It's a great sign for equality and inclusion. Now I will go back on the track and focus on preperation for the Paralympics."

Ratcliffe has just stopped for a chant to Gabby Logan on BBC One. That won't help him get to Wembley on time.

He says "there are some parallels" between running the Marathon and Manchester United.

Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has just finished his marathon in a time of four hours 30 minutes and 52 seconds.

He's now got 50 minutes to get himself to Wembley for the kick-off of United's FA Cup semi-final.

If he checks his phone he'll see Erik ten Hag has had to pick Casemiro at centre-back which won't help the pain he's feeling.

A colorectal surgeon has vowed to have "fun" running her third London Marathon while wearing a "ridiculous" poo emoji outfit.

Emma Davies, 46, who works at Lancaster Royal Infirmary, is running the race on Sunday in aid of Bowel Research UK.

She said the charity was close to her heart as she sees the devastating impact of bowel disease daily.

While dressing as a giant poo was "not a life aim", she said, it was an "honour to run for an amazing charity".

She said: "I was lucky to get a place again. It's an incredible atmosphere.

"lt'll be fun and it is such a good charity to raise money for and to raise awareness of bowel disease."

After coming third in the men's wheelchair race, David Weir spoke to BBC: "I didn't even know that until today [raced 25th consecutive London Marathon]. It was a tough race today, I wanted to compete with Daniel and Marcel. I did well in Boston last week, I got a PB and got a new chair which is similar to Marcel's. I'm 45 in a couple of months and I'm really with my performance today to get third."

On new chair: "It's a full carbon chair made by Selba. It makes a massive difference. It goes over bumps well, it's aerodynamic. I changed things up in the summer. The technology has kept me interested. I've not had a new chair in 12 years. I've enjoyed being in the garage and doing the rollers for hours on end. I changed my diet."

People running the London Marathon in rhino costumes has been a bit of a tradition.

This year Martin Turner is taking part in a wheelchair rhino costume.

He stopped to speak to BBC One a little earlier: "It is fantastic to be here - being out here for inclusivity. We want to save the rhinos everyone together.

"32 years ago the first rhino ran the marathon this is the first time we have got a chair in the costume."

The finish line is looking busy now as more and more of the masses make it home.

Switzerland's Catherine Debrunner, who won the women's wheelchair race, talking to BBC Sport: "I am really happy about the win and that we [her and men's winner Marcel Hug] could do it together is even better.

"It was really tough, the wind was all the time! It was a little race against the wind and if you have to do it all on your own it is really long.

"The crowd helped so much. I am really grateful for everyone that came out to cheer us on, it is really amazing here.

"It goes really fast now - the focus will be on the track after I go home tomorrow and then there will be a few races before the focus is on the Paralympics in Paris."

McFly's Harry Judd, speaking to BBC after finishing the marathon in three hours and 20 minutes: "I've been concerned I was in a state but I looked down at my splits and I'd gone faster. I started a bit later than I should have. I can tell you my legs are really struggling. I cannot recommend it enough, it is the most amazing experience ever."

We told you earlier about Eastenders actors Emma Barton and Jamie Borthwick who are running the marathon in character as part of the a storyline in the show.

They've made it to Tower Bridge.

"We just have to treat it like any other scene," Emma told BBC One.

"It has never been done before. It is a genius idea and I feel honoured to be part of it."
