Kipchoge
« on October 12, 2019, 12:57:32 pm by BillyStubbsTears »
I never thought I'd ever see anyone run a marathon distance in under 2 hours.

Staggering.

As someone just said on the radio, imagine setting the treadmill to 21km/h and running for 2 hours.

I sometimes up the treadmill speed to 20km/h for the final 200m of a 5k run. I am absolutely f**ked after that!

It’s a fantastic achievement in itself, but would be better in an actual race..

Yeah of course, but just doing it at all is amazing.

It will be very difficult to do it in a proper race but it will be done one day.

I tend to think I'm a decent runner but when you compare it I run a half marathon in 1:33...... staggering pace.

Running is for those that didn’t get a bike for Christmas!

17 seconds per 100m, 422 times in a row. Phenomenal and an absolute gent. No Human is Limited

Parkrun shared some data, that only 5 park runs matched his 5k pace.
Amazing.

14:10 for 5k. Eight and a half times in a row!
That's insane.

I once got lapped on a Parkrun by someone who finished in 16:05 and that itself was astonishing to see. Kipchoge is beyond belief.
