Eliud Kipchoge | Sets new official world record at Berlin (pg5)

An amazing achievement. He made it look easy on the finishing straight.
1hr 59 40s.
 
sub 2 hour marathon, astonishing

Yes but would you rather do it in 10 hours and be able to enjoy a Greggs every few days?

Only joking Fair play to him!

Why wasn’t his time officially allowed to stand as a world record just because he had some people running with him ?
 
Amazing time, did he run it without actual pace makers?
Seem to recall another athlete attempted a sub 2hr some time ago but that was with organised pace makers brought in by the organisers, sadly the time wasn't recognised
 
Fantastic achievement by one of the greatest runners of all time. Luckily I flew out for this and got a spot, 20 metres from the finish.

Well worth watching the docs about his previous attempt in Monza and the build up to this race. Seems a great human being on top of being a phenomenal athlete.
