For me, this is the most impressive sporting achievement in history. Absolutely moved to tears to be able to witness this in my lifetime. A sub-2hour marathon. To get perspective, go and try to run at 21kph for 300meters....
Incredible @EliudKipchoge & everyone behind @INEOS159
@injinji I just ran 455 miles, climbed 3 mountains, all in 9 days. I set a new record in the process. I wore your socks throughout and my feet stayed in great shape, no blisters! Keep up the good work.
@3peakschallenge I believe I have set a fastest known time running the national three peaks challenge solo and without any transport. How would you like me to prove it?
