1hour 59 minute 40. Seconds Marathon

Pretty genuine and just amazing to watch for the last 2 hour.

Eliud Kipchoge your in the history books.
 
Great achievement :happyclap:

But when a commentator described it as "a gift to the world" I wondered if they were slightly OTT :lol:

Having tried to be an athlete for all my adult life, Im simply in awe of this achievement. There are no buts. Just an amazing individual effort, backed up by a great team effort. :thumbsup:

It moves the game on. Others now know it can be done and will strive to become the first to break this barrier in racing conditions.
 
I used to do the Great North run each year. Last one when I was 65, nine years ago. I was pleased to finish in under two hours for this half marathon. Under two hours is a magnificent achievement for a full marathon. :thumbsup:
 
Didn't know anything about this till I saw it on my news app. Brilliant! Apparently he had rolling pacers, but so what....its still his legs that did the job!

Chicago marathon tomorrow. I watch a guy called "kofuzi" on youtube. He's aiming for sub 3.
 
I thought this might happen one day, but not so soon.
After Sir Roger Bannister achieved the sub 4 minute mile (something that was thought impossible), several other atheletes did it in quick succession. If that's anything to go by, I would expect more sub 2hr marathons soon.
 
Try turning your treadmill up to 21kph.
I can’t even sprint that fast, never mind do it for 2 hours.
Hats off to the guy.
 
Can you do 100 metres in 15.56 seconds?

That's what this guy averaged for nigh on 2 hours non-stop!
