Subject: Eliud Kipchoge breaks two-hour marathon mark by 20 seconds
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/13/19 at 11:01 am
Eliud Kipchoge has become the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours, beating the mark by 20 seconds. The Kenyan, 34, covered the 26.2 miles (42.2km) in one hour 59 minutes 40 seconds in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge in Vienna, Austria on Saturday. It will not be recognised as the official marathon world record because it was not in open competition and he used a team of rotating pacemakers. "This shows no-one is limited," said Kipchoge. "Now I've done it, I am expecting more people to do it after me."
