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.
