I say, the answer to that is: pretty fast?

Shows we are getting ever closer to the elusive 2:00 marathon. Wow.

 

[Bree]

That is insane. That’s faster than my half marathon time

 

[ZellyB]

Simply amazing!

 

[BikeFan]

That time represents 4:38/mile splits, which is faster than most people can run a single mile, yet Eliud Kipchoge ran that time for 26.2 miles straight! That's just so amazing!

That’s amazing!

Now take a look at this numbers to break down the pace. I would be in his dust in under 200m

 

[IamTrike]

and to think he missed his PR by a little over a minute...


Yes I realize his breaking two account doesn't count, and this was rediculously crazy fast.

I could do that...on a motorized scooter.
