So as quickly as we could we cut a swath through the runners, thankfully not tripping up anyone as we passed through them. We were not popular but what else could we do? The alternative was to have missed out flight. Thankfully they weren't the elite runners and I hadn’t ruined Paula Radcliffe’s time or tripped up ...
