Absolutely unbelievable! Real feel good moment seeing Eliud crossing the line in under 2 hours. History in the making boys n girls!
Incredible!
Shame they aren’t counting it as an official record. Impressive feet I just hope he can recreate it at an ‘official’ event so it can be counted.
Mo Farah hasn’t got a chance of winning London with this guy still competing.
Not really, it was an organised one man advertising campaign backed time trial, 40 odd pacemakers stepping in and out of the “event” to assist. They may as well had an electric car with a damn great windbreak on it to set the pace and shelter him.That is a shame and a bit ridiculous, but I think most people interested in running/athletics will recognise it as breaking the 2 hour Marathon barrier.

Great physical achievement , but not an IAAF sanctioned world record.
I can understand that most people involved in running these days do not race, they run for a time, and this will have a certain appeal.
