David Collister heads for number 26


One of the things that struck me when analysising David Collister's remarkable 25 consecutive finishes is the way that despite his consistency he has fallen down the field as the number of finishers has increased.


In 1995 he was 8th with 21:04:32. In 2007 he was 22 seconds faster for 80th place!
