Eliud is truly an amazing world class athlete but this run was BS. He had so much assistance from his pace runners to the car telling people when and where to run. He’s gotta do it without all that. Basically cheating
Dude is 39?? I am turning 42 next week, I need to get my fit life together! I ran my first 5k in 8 years in 45 mins.. And I was hurting… Back to the lab I go.
Here’s the thing though, even though it was the fastest marathon time so far. It’s not counted as the record. Because Kipchoge had a group of runners with him and a pacer. So until someone does it without that, it won’t be counted as the official record
2:12 Running records are like going super saiyan, when nobody thinks it’s possible, it’s almost impossible. When everybody knows it’s possible, it’s easy.
Watching this as if I could copy what he did 😀
edit: the end had me in tears 😀 humans are amazing!
Taking into considerations that the first marathon was completed in less than 12 parsecs

Its mad how it just looks like a light jog for him. Insane
holy moly, my fastest ever mile was a 5:13 and he ran faster by 30 seconds for 26 miles straight,
This video gave me goosebumps, congrats Eliud
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

"…Stood for more than 100 years?" How about more than 'all years'?
Why use imperial units and leave all of the world outside of this except the UK and the US? 🙁
Especially since running distances are always talked about in km.
And the othe 8 guys ?
I understand this but can it really be official he had a flat course with 4 turns windbreakers AND pacers
this is a feat of humanity not one person
Did the pace runners who accompanied him during the sub2 marathon changed frequently ? How much did they walk at this pace?
schout out to the pace runners
He looks old.
No fancy equipment, just raw talent
Great coverage ❤
What some people don’t know is that Eliuds mile pace would win most high school mile races
Needs to be an official race. Not a historically significant event until that happens.
