Eliud Kipchoge has made history as he becomes the first athlete to run a marathon in less than two hours, although the feat will not count as a world record, according to the world athletics body.
Kipchoge was supported by 36 pacemakers who accompanied him in alternating groups, one of the reasons the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) will not ratify the time as a world record. .
Running at a consistent average pace of 2:50 minutes per kilometre (4:33.5 minutes per mile), Kipchoge was 11 seconds ahead of schedule halfway through his run.

“The possibility of sports: I want to make sports clean and ensure that every human beings can wake up every morning to run. We can eradicate diseases and make peace just by running.....I appreciate the time everyone has taken to watch and we have made history together and together we can make this world peaceful.....” - Eliud Kipchoge,
Stretching the limits; he said we're only limited by ourselves!!...
