I haven’t been watching these people run through the streets for two hours just to have you come in here and jinx it!

It’s uphill for like the last few hundred meters, I’m thinking baw may have broke 2 hours if not for that.

You are far more likely to be murdered in America than you are Kenya.

Don’t want to speak for another poster, but maybe he was talking about Chicago, not Kenya.

And just like that, Kipchoge takes his place off the stage.

The side programming was way more entertaining than a thread about a Kenyan runner.

It's already happened unofficially. Eliud Kipchoge ran a marathon in 1:59:40 back in 2019 but for reasons it didn't count as a world record.

for reasons


Everything about that run was structured to be perfect for breaking two hours. He had pacers, laser point pacing, a phalanx created by the pacers to eliminate wind sheer, zero pressure from competition, a 6 mile loop on a flat surface with minimal curves, and ideal weather conditions.

It’s still one of the most impressive athletic feats in human history, but it’s not an official record and rightfully so.

So how is a marathon course measured in real life?

Like is the measuring done on the inner most parts of all the curves of the course or down the center?

It’s measured from the tangents, so the shortest line around the corners. This is where you ideally want to run to minimize running extra distance

Yep, White women can’t even go for a morning run in your city without getting raped and murdered by the locals.
