History Made: Eliud Kipchoge Runs 1:59 Marathon
Kipchoge becomes the first person to run a sub-2-hour marathon!!!
The four-minute mile. Free soloing El Capitan. The first man on the moon. To that illustrious list of human achievements we can now add ‘the sub-two marathon’. When Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge broke the tape in Vienna, 1 hour 59 minutes and 40 seconds after he started, something forever changed in marathon running. A barrier broken, a dream become a reality.
