Is it impossible to run a sub 2 hour marathon?

[@kyoshimadoshi]

He's gonna do it.. This crazy guy is gonna do it.

[@lesago9243]

stop bringing up bekele people. as of right NOW, only eliud is the man stepping up to break the 2 hour barrier. Yes, im sure bekele is capable of breaking it but like what eliud wants is to see people evolve and become great in marathon running.

[@THANE_MITHRA]

beks is gifted so is eliud. Eliud inspires the world

[@abigailperez8462]

not evolve,but learn instead,how to run.

[@h.szymanski]

I'd love to see them race each other in peak shape. Both Berlin and this challenge were freaking impressive!

[@muratunel]

He will make it... I believe in Kipchoge... Keep Going.... Keep Going...

[@outofservice420]

Murat Unel 👍👍👍👍🤛

[@coleabrahams9331]

you should have made the video 1:59 long

[@Harihar_Patel]

If he ran 2:01 in berlin, ofcourse he can run 1:59. He is going to be running under perfect race conditions with pacemakers acting to stop wind resistance. He is also running with the latest nike shoes, which are faster than the vapor fly 4%. I say he does it in 1:58.

[@SuperThealonso]

He can do it and this will be the greatest feat in athletics history that's for sure

[@AdarshKumar615]

Everything is possible..remember the motivational line of sir eluid kipchoge..--no human is limited...

[@outofservice420]

He has been training so hard! He is going to succeed!

[@r-duke1552]

Hopefully he does it. About time people stopped saying he's the ONLY athlete in the world capable though, Kenenisa Bekele has proved that to be incorrect.

[@bonnybonny8337]

2 seconds in a marathon is a lifetime.

[@aok9153]

Hes the only athlete capable

[@barwapeter]

I don't know why people getting this challenge all confusing. It is an experiment to push and dare human limits. I don't know people making comparisons between him and Bekele based on this experiment. He has proved it can be attempted and wants to make it happen. Bakele is competing against Eluid, eluid is competing against a myth.

[@nimmacity8615]

@@bonnybonny8337 no it's not. 2 seconds in the 800m is a lifetime but in a marathon it's one of the closest finish times possible.

[@r-duke1552]

@@bonnybonny8337 Bekele had 3 months to prepare, had a hamstring issue during the race yet still finished just 2 SECONDS outside Eliud's WR. Bekele is legit.

If there's one person to do it, You're the one. Perhaps some of the greatest mentality along with the best athlete is what Kipchoge is. Man, that guy is a stud. (that's a compliment)

[@brunono9ueira]

Who the hell dislike this video. This man is a true inspiration for many. #webeliveineliud

[@svracing3]

I think he will do it but it’s gonna be close

[@IslamTvDz]

Bonne chance Eliud , tu vas sûrement le réussir ce défi

[@ファイヤーワークス-m2r]

he can do it‼️

[@Tubs428]

who’s here after he ran a 1:59:40

[@johnmohblaxta]

we are behind you sir. 1000%

[@fed9838]

Love y’all ❤️ I’m just trying to hit 18s for the 5k 😂

[@bboy6surme]

ME TOO

[@-guz-man_578]

Érik such an ass 😹😹😹

[@DiegoCrawford]

ye I just hit 17s and i’m like damn he’s doing 14 minutes without even thinking

[@KIM-xl6zs]

Am a Kenyan&,I wish him all the best but the pressure he is under is immense+I can see even our television stations are counting down to that day, sub 2hrs is almost impossible, I don't want to be pessimistic but this is impossible, but I hope he does it

[@kiswahilikitukuzwe2547]

HE DID IT!!!!! 1h 59m 40.2s

[@THANE_MITHRA]

and they said man cannot grace the stars.We got to the moon. so eliud im praying you usher in the next step on evolution.

[@matthewwelsh7697]

The training and healthy lifestyle will lead him sub 2! Awesome

[@jakerose8928]

man this is 14:13min for 5k, or 28:26min for 10k(correct me if I'm wrong) which a lot of people on earth considers fast. and this man is going to run a full marathon with this pace. it really gets me to think how powerful human body could actually be, both physically and mentally. he's gonna make it.

[@Njeri_123]

He might pull a surprise on us. This man Eliud-I see a 1:58 coming.

[@leander_aunvik]

He did 1:59:40.2

[@alifzaini9279]

Its possible believe eliud kipchoge

[@harewood1988]

I believe

[@siemvanledden5132]

HE HAS DONE IT

[@mikejones4830]

It just happend

[@_Bush_Bush_]

In a short answer. No. No it is not impossible.

[@heliothere5038]

They always say no one has ever come close but look at keninisa bekele

[@ig2d]

that's because Bekele's run happened only a few weeks ago.

[@-guz-man_578]

Look guys Eluid will break the 2 hours and people will follow that how it works. Many people are in the bekele bangwangon right now for his performance but after Eluid run and does it people will come and be like I was always a Eluid fan Bruhh. It’s hard to push the pace yourself none of you know this so plss stop being smart asses about it.

[@Leon-ln6qk]

it looks like it is now

[@hernandezrockmetal1697]

Esperemos se logre.

[@makex_se]

what date will he go for it?

[@mohamedkajiado8820]

If you believe he will break the record under 2hrs hit the like

[@korkhaled]

The 2017 breaking2 race was not eligible for official world record according to IAAF

[@aisti1234]

@Mike Haydon if it was just about running under 2 hours why didn't they choose a 42.195KM downhill route? why not running in an exosceleton? who says fresh pacers every now and then that break the wind for him are ok but this and that is not?

[@aisti1234]

i'd love to see them trying to attempt an actual world record under 2h, everything other that that is just creating a new category in the sports of long distance running.

[@winniekaswii9163]

Well now u have your answer

[@greeen5120]

Yes it is

[@franek8757]

YES, IT IS!!!

[@bluemystic7501]

Dude be looking like Floyd Mayweather Sr.

[@artemonskiy]

1:59:38

[@artemonskiy]

I do not think. I believe and hope!

[@martinmills135]

Well, you were pretty close there mate.

[@_11TO11_]

ITS POSSIBLE

[@leander_aunvik]

How did he do it then?

[@LOLasdasdxcasfcsddsf]

Yes, possible

[@alexandercoman9685]

No, but actually yes

[@ryangreen5026]

When Eliud ran race to brake the record?

[@legrandempereurcosmique5142]

Bekele disliked... Two times

[@SuperHans469]

I read somewhere that every extra pound of body weight equates to two seconds per mile, if he loses half a pound.....job done 🙄

[@connor7568]

Andy Blackburn lol, not that easy mate. That usually refers to someone who is overweight or the average person. Because Eliud is in peak fitness his body fat percentage would be very low so the weight he would lose would probably be muscle, providing a disadvantage to his performance.

[@SuperHans469]

Connor Shaw - I know it was my attempt at a joke. It did work for me though

[@gokiwi2642]

I reckon Kipchoge will brake 2 hours then bekele will also do it in a fast time

[@peterrushen6580]

This whole exercise is so contrived. With a wind tested phalanx of 30 Pacers and fuelling delivered by bike etc, it would make more sense to stop pretending it is a road race and get him to run in still air behind an electric vehicle with a big ass wind break and see how fast the man can go under truely ideal conditions. I hope WADA are involved or there really is NO point. I pity the guy that breaks 2 for REAL, his moment will stand in the shadow of this if it is successful.

[@Vidushaka68]

No, it’s totally possible 🏃🏾‍♂️💨

[@janelymuriel8057]

? . K

[@weeds526]

Short answer: nope

[@conquest222]

Sike

[@kristoferwong2287]

Elluid kipchoge will make it he is the best Marathon runner in the world and next week he will run 1:58

[@ratebbannour8383]

i think he wont make it 😭

[@thisissanjaytiwari3156]

One day a human will complete a marathon in 1.30 hours✌✌✌🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@golfdoc1950]

I like the idea but too bad INEOS couldn't figure out a way to make it a certifiable world record. Get Kipchoge and Bekele to run a flat course with plenty of pacers who start with the racers, winner take all $1 million with $1 million bonus for going under 2 hours. Let's see, where did I leave my checkbook?

[@benji104]

these videos are getting more and more repetitive. can we just wait until he did it, please?

[@benji104]

@Mike Haydon Well, I was expecting some new info when I clicked. If he fails (because of rain for instance), most of us have wasted a lot of time. Nike has handled the last challenge more modestly in my opinion.

[@musclelessfitness2045]

Although I would like to see it happening, there is a good chance he might miss the mark again /watch?v=97KbYoJQ6t8&t=2s

[@aquicktake]

He will break it. But he won't be the last. Someone will then break his record within a decade.
