Sub-two hour marathon attempt

Wow. Hope he does it. Would be amazing.

 

thought this would be about jontro, am disappoint

 

Running is for proles.

What's the record for driving the marathon in a mobility scooter?

 

Hope he enjoys the rhabdo, I know his kidneys won’t

 

Look at this dude........ he is 30 years old in this picture.

Guy looks 75 years old.

Very talented runner though, he was dominant in shorter distances as well.

The marathon is such a hard thing to predict time wise.

 

I watched the video OP posted and thought wow that dude must be getting better with age. Thought he was mid-forties.

Long distance running is truly **** on bodies.

 

Considering he only missed the 2 hour mark by 1.5 minutes in a real marathon race, he has a pretty good shot on a completely flat course with pacers.

 

Dude is 30 in Mutombo years.

 

Always had this silly notion that marathon running is more about stamina than speed, but looking at that video.... Holy ****, that's some crazy pace they need to maintain for 2-hours straight.

 

This is like a full out sprint for 26 miles for a normal human.

 

Check out the technology from the pace car. I guess casting a green box showing where the 2hr pace needs to be??

 

It's unbelievable what humans can do and shows just how different our capabilities are.

I am happy if I can run two miles @ 6 mph.
This guy just ran 26 at 13 mph.

 

fwiw: they aren’t counting this as a world record, because it wasn’t an official race.

But Kipchoge owns the WR, so sure he doesn’t care.

 

does he even lift?

 

Amazing

 

Not one mention of it on ESPN. WTF.

 

I can't even fathom it. I wonder if he would be even faster if he smoked out first.

Reminds me of Rocky running down that road to the library (or whatever building it is) and then up the steps. But, Rocky runs that hard for 26 miles.
