Just set out on his quest to break the 2hr record for running a marathon. Failed by 26 seconds in his bid 2 yrs ago.
Good luck to him. Remarkable achievement if he does it.
Blimey
For Eliud Kipchoge to run a sub-two-hour marathon, he’ll need to run 100m in 17.08 seconds - 422 times in a row.

He did it! Thanks for the heads up, that was absolutely amazing, glad I got the chance to watch it
Next time you are in the gym, put the running machine up to 21 and keep going for 26 miles and you get an idea of how quick he ran
Unofficial record but bloody hell, fair play to the guy. The thought of running a marathon is enough for me, let alone at that sort of pace.
Why couldnt we just wait until it was done in a normal race in 25 years or so. When it does happen it will be less impressive.
