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

[franksinatra]

Never be forgotten, ever. Remarkable achievement

Indeed. Over the moon I got to see it live. I knew it was huge but when you saw his reaction, heard the words of his family etc it just heightened the sense of achievement for me.

Nearly as big an achievement as my time tomorrow on the Manchester half....

.....seeing that today has seriously inspired me for morning, going to be really positive tomorrow.

You will smash it mate, I’m expecting under one hour after today.

Haha. 1:35 and I’ll be fucking dancing around like we’ve won the whole lot, Rags have been relegated and liverpool thrown out of the league on the same day!!

Him and another runner currently are a minute below world record pace.

Thanks for the English stream, don't know why I didn't check Youtube.

There seems to be a lot more bikes and motors than usual, that would be driving me mad, kipchoge slowing now though could struggle for a record, haha "struggle"

 

[MCFC1993]

Looks like he's dipping below the official world record.

I want him to get under 2:01:00 now.

Going to need a fast final 2km.

 

[MCFC1993]

2:01:09 new world record (officially).

Takes 30secs off of his old world record.

He's insane.

 

[franksinatra]

Incredible. Truly inspirational.

 

[Stuuuuuu]

Unbelievable talent. Strange mixed feelings for me as it's a huge world record but I really wanted him to go under 2 hours!

 

[BlueHammer85]

Just amazing

I’m happy to do a half Marathon around that time

I’d be happy to do that time on a bike!!!

Incredible. Truly inspirational.

The rest of the field were collapsing on the ground when they finished.
He looked as fresh as a daisy.

There’s a 30 mile ride I do that takes me about 2 hours on my fixie.

Incredible that he runs 26 miles in that time.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

He looks dead old n’all, doesn’t look a day under 55!

20 Kenyan distance runners have been banned for EPO usage this year, including multiple pacers from the Ineos 1:59 event.

A lot of nike runners involved as well.

Going to be quite a few questioning Kipchoge now.

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

Sadly with all the fame, money, pressure and performance levels needed in modern sport I'd suspect that compleatly 'clean' participants in most sports are in a minority.

That’s where the dipper’s inhalers have got to then. Athletics is full of cheats and you cannot take any thing at face value. Football is probably full of it too but I suspect the failed drug tests are covered up with a long term acl injuries
