Doesn't count officially.....why waste all the resources if it doesn't count

im gonna guess you arent a runner...its amazing.
did it last year but came up 20 seconds short.
its a feat nobody has accomplished ever.....groundbreaking and incredible. he is the olympic champion in the sport anyway.
runs 26.2 miles at a pace of 4:34 per mile.....thats insane and an incredible barrier that is broken

It's absolutely unbelievable! Regardless of the pacers, conditions, etc this is something nobody ever thought possible just 10 years ago.

I've run nearly 20 marathons and have a personal best of 2:58:44, I struggled like hell to break 3 hours. Anyone you see breaking 2:20 in a marathon is an absolute freak of nature, and this guy went more than 20 minutes faster. Amazing.

I can run a mile in 7:30 - does that win me anything?

Damn that’s impressive; good share.

They should just drive or ride a bike. Much faster.

Running is highly overrated, but this feat is absolutely amazing. Sub Human incredible and almost unbelievable, actually.

20?!? geez man congrats. that time is amazing too. running the marine corps marathon 2 weeks from today which will be my third. yet to break 4 hours and unlikely this time. having a back issue which has caused me to rest a lot and not get in all the training needed. love running and always wanted to do the marine corps marathon so this is somewhat or a bucket list for me. im just gonna enjoy the run and all the marathon means while giving thanks to those that served.

this is really sick

I run about 12 miles a week mostly broken into sprints...but I do a mile every time. I can do it under 7, but it takes alot. I've been working out/in shape for 25 years...

on that note though...running sucks so bad.

Keep at it brotha, you’re doing it right. Besides a mile, sprints/Hills is all I run.

Now the women’s marathon time has been broken by a Kenyan.
