It took Greg Billingham just over 7 days to complete the 2007 London marathon and 8 full days to complete the 2008 London marathon. He is the first person in the World to ever run a marathon in slow motion and really is the slowest runner in the World,
The fastest marathon by a woman (2:15:25) was run by Paula Radcliffe in the 2003 London Marathon.
