26 fucking miles in under 2 hours! Thats 17 seconds per 100 metres...Id struggle to do that!
I don't understand why its not being 'officially recognised' though...Pacesetters or not, he still had to swing his legs! Meh...What the fuck do I know?
Still, incredible...I cant fathom that kind of effort

Amazing achievement. He was full of beans when he finished as well, running up and down high 5ing people. A good turnout from the locals to cheer him on as well.
I get why it wasn't an official marathon record as it wasnt actually a race but a private time trial. Its a bit like a lap record can only be done during a race, although they do have circuit best & pole position lap records.
He said after that hopefully it would push others on to do it in an actual race soon. I dont see that happening for a while. They picked Vienna at that time as it was the perfect temperature & flat, pace makers behind a car with lasers shining on the ground in green if they were on pace or not.

I don't believe anything in athletics anymore. Testing is always behind the cheating. I even read something the other day about Bolt going to visit a cheating connected doctor in Munich when he was 15 because he had a 'cold'. Makes sense. Get cold, fly half way around the world to sort it out.
Been noticing UFC physiques are on the up again. Once they introduced USADA testing suddenly all the fighter looked a shadow of their former selves, now they're looking they're off to amateur body building competition again.
Look at that dirty Salazar Bastard. I wonder how long it will before someone spills the beans and Farah splits his trousers.

I understand why it's not officially recognized, still incredible though.
Farah playing the race card at the weekend....is it because I is black that u ask all these questions about my association with Salazar!
Talking about UFC, on a slight tangent…..Tyson Fury...WWE?...WTF?....bit risky surely.

Fury at least has the personality for the WWE. Not sure he should even be play-fighting though until his head is full healed.
