The Kenyan who became the first man to run under 2 hours for the marathon distance.
But was it a normal race? No other rivals except the clock. pacesetters strategically placed to help him the achieve the goal.
17 seconds per 100 metres.
I could run 12 seconds for 100 metres at age 16, my peak. This guy is only 5 seconds slower and he has to go a further 42 km at the same pace!! They sprint marathons these days!
But there is criticism of his achievement. Can someone achieve this in a normal marathon?
