It's London Marathon week, and all week, The Sports Agents will be finding out why it's the world's most popular race...

Gabby and Mark catch up with four time-Olympian and Commonwealth 10,000m champion, Eilish McColgan, who's running her first ever marathon almost 30 years after her mum won the race. She's broken all of her mum's other records - so can she break this one? And what's it like being an elite marathon newbie, learning how to take on gels and beat the wall?

Former England cricket captain Andrew Strauss will be running for the Ruth Strauss Foundation, in honour of his late wife. Does he think he can beat his ex-England team-mate Alastair Cook? Will he be trying the run-walk method again? And what's it like being a celebrity runner at London?

Plus, we react to Leeds and Burnley's promotion to the Premier League - and try to figure out what on earth is a fire beast?! And we react to Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's showing the other parents how it's down at school sports day.

The 2026 TCS London Marathon ballot opens Friday 25 April to Friday 2 May. For more information go to tsclondonmarathon.com.

On his 11th attempt Rory McIlroy finally won the Masters and a career Grand Slam, sealing his place in golfing history as only the sixth man to achieve that feat. Of course he did it the hard way and the tension almost killed us - a sudden-death play-off and the most double bogeys of any Masters champion - but as Rory sunk to his knees it was clear this was a moment of sporting history. We relive that moment with broadcaster and co-host of The Chipping Forecast podcast, Andrew Cotter. (13:07)
