Many years ago I made a bet with my daughter that this would never happen, absolutely impossible. Time to pay up!

I’m much more likely to run marathons now that they’re under 2 hours

ltmgeller · 13 October 2019, 08:17 AM

Wow, that's fast. How much was the bet for?

I was happy 20 years ago to finish one in under 4 hours!

An amazing accomplishment. I bet he'll do it in a real race soon. Doesn't look like he was wearing a Rolex.

Never say never brother, hard to believe, but you will see it more and more over the next months and years.

superdog · 13 October 2019, 08:41 AM

That’s just bonkers.

superdog · 13 October 2019, 08:43 AM

Next milestone is under an hour...

It’s not an official time so you don’t have to cough up yet.

Quite an accomplishment.

Wait. Don't you have a vette?

DasKptl · 13 October 2019, 11:04 AM

I've heard that Kipchoge had to run at the speed of 17sec/100m constantly for the whole marathon course.

Many people cannot even run one short 100m in 17sec.

cup8 · 13 October 2019, 11:04 AM

That is a great accomplishment, very nice.

GB-man · 13 October 2019, 03:46 PM

Hah this guy ran 26.2 miles at a pace twice as fast as I can run 1 mile.

bayerische · 13 October 2019, 04:22 PM

Amazing. I like running, but I'm lightyears away from this fellow.

I tried to run that pace, I cannot hold it longer than a few minutes, it is insane.

I like going slow for hours and hours on a trail, then have beer afterwards

I find the endurance of your runs equally impressive. This record is more proof he’s a genetic specimen than anything. Most people’s heart would explode!

It's high time we put these marathoners to use they way they were intended.

Delivering messages. Like Pheidippides.

Toony · 14 October 2019, 01:43 AM

I know it wasn’t an “official race” but to see how bonkers this is, next time you are on/near a treadmill put the speed on 13mph and try doing that. And then realize that is slightly slower than he ran for 2hrs.

I was a respectable high school runner and am sad to admit he outpaced my personal best. which was 1600 meters (1 mile = 1609 meters) in 4 minutes 38 seconds

Breaking 2 hours is bananas, and also I am sick of "authorities" invalidating records. running all downhill or with the wind is one thing, but pacers? Why does an "official" record need to occur within the context of a competitive race?
