Kenya’s Eliud Kepchoge Is First To Run A Marathon In Under 2 Hours

Yes.  You read that right!  A man actually ran an under 2 hour marathon!

Above you can see Eliud Kipchoge's amazing speed, from the recent London Marathon.  He beat the two hour mark yesterday in Vienna, Austria.

WGRZ shared the story on Eliud Kipchoge

The Olympic champion ran at a consistent average pace of 4 minutes, 33 seconds per mile. But the historic moment won't officially count as a world record.

Eliud is the first runner to beat this two hour mark

The Olympic champion and world record holder from Kenya clocked 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds Saturday at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, an event set up for the attempt.

So, how did he feel at the finish?

"I'm feeling good," Kipchoge said. "I'm the first man, I want to inspire many people that no human is limited."
