Eliud Kipchoge is marathon running’s ultimate speed demon.
Even at 38 years old, he still wins nearly every time he races. His win in Berlin last year made him 17 for 19. The technical term for that is “bananas.”
He breaks his own world record over and over. It’s now down to 2 hours, 1 minute and 9 seconds.
He is the only human (as far as we know) to have run 26.2 miles in less than two hours, finishing a course designed to optimize speed, with a pace team taking turns blocking the wind, in 1:59.
