— Eliud Kipchoge October 12, 2019 Kipchoge's first crack of going sub-two hour in Monza, Italy, was part of Nike's Breaking2 project. This time he was being backed by petrochemical company Ineos in an attempt called the 1:59 Challenge.Read MoreDespite the achievement, the milestone won't count as a world record. In fact, Ineos hasn't even submitted a request to the IAAF for the attempt to be officially ratified.Kipchoge was assisted by an army of 30 pacemakers.

Trump can do it faster. No one can do anything better than Trump. Just ask him. Believe me.
Odds are he'll be in Boston next year winning another Marathon for Kenya.
and then meet the other 7 that completed it under two hours.
Fantastic😊

He cheated - as far as records go - drafting makes it much easier ... especially for other sports like triathlons and cycling.
👍👏
Awesome!
THAT MOMENT WHEN... Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge became the first person to ever run a marathon in under two hours cnn.pasta/4oooobyK classic tv moment
It says it wont be recognized because it wasnt an open competition. What does that mean please?
Kenya have night runners so they are been running all night no wonder
Misleading headline. Should be “first person to run marathon distance in under two hours.” It was not “a marathon” it was a one-man exhibition designed specifically for him to attempt this feat.
Drug test that man for natural berries and juice 😂
This is almost insane...only way I could run a marathon under 2 days is..I have no idea...that man is scary fast...
I wonder what Forrest Gump's record is.
praise AFRICA🥳😎
Christian_4822 broo he fucken did it
True African
Cheater
INSANE
Clearly nobody reads the article just reacts to the title, the guy ran behind a car with 30 guys helping him to keep pace and it wasn't a race...
So he had a pace car and pace people. In the end didn’t he run 26.2 miles in under 2 hours.
🇰🇪🇰🇪
Was a lion chasing him? Was there cheesecake at the finish line? If not, then why run? For what? MentalHealthAwarenessDay
Yes he covered the 26.2 ground in under 2 -- but every single aspect and detail surrounding this was purposefully designed for him to meet the most perfectly ideal conditions. When someone does it in a sanctioned race, then I'll be impressed. 🤷
Congratulations
2 hours! It would take me two days to finish!
Holy shit. 🙌 Congrats for making history Eliud 🇰🇪
Do they get drug tested?
The power of the oxygen dissociation curve
That’s about 4.5 minutes per mile for 26 miles straight 😳

My wife can't even get ready for date night in two hours.
Congratulations
I’ll celebrate when the drug tests come back....
Give him the money that he wants.
Specially designed shoes. Completely flat course with no turns....no one else running with him. Seems legit. It’s the fastest ever, but it also wasn’t a true race or course.
Such a humble nice person.
Thanks for starting with his Nationality,thanks
Wonderful achievement...but he will never repeat the feat in an actual competition. Kipchoge
Kenyan?! Isn't this standard issue for them like sprinting is for us Jamaicans?! Good job, but again, kenyan so of course!
Whoa!
Amazing.
Forgive my ignorance of pacemakers but how do they work? Do they jump in the race at certain points from the crowd? Do they ride in a car or something? As in, if they all ran the same race, it looks like a dozen pacemakers broke two hours as well..
Wow!
A marathon is 26.22 miles. His average speed more than 13 miles per hour yikes.
how long can you run at the same pace? 😂 Unbelievable!
Awesome big ups to you bro
It can be done. Kenenisa Bekele will be next, followed by more. Who will be the first to have the official sub two hour marathon record in a open race. Literally only a matter of time
Eating popcorns as I read this, proudly Kenyan!
これまじすごい！
Bruh these dudes must have like 6 lungs. Can’t beat em ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Кенийский спортсмен Елиуд Кипчоге стал первым марафонцем за всю историю марафонов, кто пробежал классическую дистанцию быстрее двух часов.
Goals to work towards RJKaminski 😍

Congratulations to him. Hardwork pays!
It’s no shocker people who win marathons come from countries where people are just used to running for their lives, I’m with Jim Jeffries, hate Australians, but he’s right, We can all do Better
Wow! Finally, it happened...That pace is insane!
Way ta go brother

What bothers me that most of these outstanding Marathon runners are all so skinny and makes me look obese.. I believe the less fat on your body the better one's endurance 2 run long distances. seldom seen a white man, that slim, running. Any research done yet on their physics.
Finally CNN reports something positive on Africa
Kipchoge wants to keep the sport clean yet is aided by 41 PACEMAKERS. ... are their names listed as aiding him? Pacemakers skew times. They should also be banned.
Amazing amazing amazing
Amazing to watch this tonight with my sister in law melanieknight7 what an amazing accomplishment!
