1:59:40 Kipchoge runs historical first sub-2 hour marathon

This is amazing. The man was running at an average speed of slightly over 13 MPH for the entire marathon (26.2 miles).

I just read an article about this. It wasn’t recognized as a record as it wasn’t a race. It was a setup time trial with blocking runners and other help. Yes he ran it quick but it’s an interesting thing they did to help him achieve this.
