Sub-2 hours marathon time in 2017
« on: January 20, 2017, 10:02:03 PM »
Eluid Kipchoge has hinted that he is taking challenge of breaking the 2hour marathon barrier this year.

Vivian Cheruiyot is also graduating into marathon.

This looks like the best year for marathon.

But that is what it is.  They are promoting Nike.  It was not a real race.
