Hannah and Rich look back at the Berlin Marathon, where Tigst Assefa agonisingly fell short of the world record, suffering a suspected Achilles injury with just a couple of kilometres left to run.
There's a look at results from around the world, including Puripol Boonson's double at the Asian Games and Eilish McColgan's fourth Vitality London 10,000m title - which featured another win for Kadar Omar Abdullahi.
Plus, there's reaction to prize money at the next European Championships and Andy Diaz Hernandez competing on Dancing with the Stars, as we look back at how track and field athletes have done on that programme/Strictly Come Dancing, in the past.
