Kenyan Runner Eliud Kipchoge Destroys Marathon World Record

[MikelArteta]

I cannot wrap my head around how crazy that was.

Kipchoge actually slowed int he second half of the race, first have was a 59:51????!!!!!!!!!

So ...playing devils advocate, of he had paced himself better, he might have run sub 2:01 !!!!!?!

In the first half it's because I think Belihu was hanging with himnuntil halfway and Then faded but somehow still managed to come home in 2:06:40 to break his PB by nearly 3 minutes.

I know humans have done some superhuman things brehs....but this is probably the greatest athletic feat I can think of, cause despite how fit he is, scientifically his body will hit a wall and let him know. That's the nature of a marathon. The mental mastery it takes to run through that to greater levels is something I can't mentally comprehend.
