Allam was running in just his second marathon in Dublin and improved his debut time by over two minutes. He has since run almost four minutes faster, winning the 2023 Rome Marathon in a time of 2:07.43 in March of that year. He also won this year’s Enschede Marathon in the Netherlands back in April.
