Eliud Kipchoge has become the first person to run the marathon in under 2 hours. Using pacemakers he ran it in a time of 1:59:40
That wasn’t a true marathon.
40 pacemakers to assist him.
Running in a vee format to protect him from the wind.
Plus it was held on a flat loop track with extensive straights.
Great time but a conjured event.
He got the outcome/result they’d sought or as I say conjured.
But he was good enough to win when all the rest were out there to ensure he won.
Was that the AFL Marathon? I will go and ask Deek or Steve.
