Adele Roberts learns she broke world record at London Marathon 10 months after cancer all-clear

Adele Roberts has become the fastest woman to complete the London Marathon with a stoma bag, finishing with a time of 3 hours 30 minutes and 22 seconds.

“We got the record. I was like: ‘Oh my gosh did we actually do it?’,” Roberts said, sharing her reaction on Instagram after the race.

“We did it, up yours cancer.”
