Sub 2 Hour Marathon

[besserheimerphat]

I would say most people can't even begin to comprehend how fast elite marathoners are. This will be the most amazing athletic feat we see this year and this thread will be lucky to get to a second page. They're criminally underappreciated as athletes.

No different than strongman and powerlifters, or really any other sport outside the "big three" of football, basketball and baseball.

I mean unless his shoes turn out to have wheelies in them, I'm still going to be amazed that he did this.

And with rising global temps the marathon has expanded and the distance increased.

Huh?

My sister runs all sorts of different races. She has run quite a few marathons. Even the Boston Marathon. Recently she did a 40 mile trail run just a few weeks before her 60th birthday.
