He tried it last year and missed it by about 20 seconds. An impressive feat no doubt but all those conditions only took 1:50 off his world record time. SB | |

Can’t imagine too many can afford 40 pacemakers plus vehicles marking laser lines in the road for them to run to etc. A few have tried but mainly they’re all in races when you usually have other things to think about. | | | |

Well, now you put it like that, it's pretty average. | |

Yes bear in mind I’ve just rubbished ‘well being week’ in the office for the last few days! Even Mrs F says I’m a miserable old git! | | | |

That's an interesting comparison. Although 1 min 50 is still quite a bit. Does he hold the WR? | |

His world best time is actually a far more impressive achievement than today's marathon. No such thing as a world record for the marathon; it is called a world best because of the differences between different courses. | | | |
Eliud Kipchoge on 10:20 - Oct 12 with 2111 views | Sir_Bob | An amazing achievement and some people are slating him for having help. It's not as though he got help from someone on a motorbike is it? | | | |

Yes, 2:01:39 is his world best time. That's more impressive in my opinion. SB | |

Both bloody impressive to be fair. Probably a bad week to do it, when people are questioning how clean the sport is. | |

People have a right to their opinion. I don't think anyone is saying it's not impressive, it's just some think his WR is more impressive. Which maybe it is. | |

It's a good job Roger Bannister didn't have Brasher and Chataway as pacemakers. Oh... | |

Yes, well I welled up a little when I saw the last 200m in slow motion head on with Eliud steaming in and his pace setters (all top athletes in their own right) willing him on. I thought it was a great achievement and a rare moment of really positive news. [Post edited 12 Oct 2019 17:24]
