Eliud Kipchoge has become the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours, beating the mark by 20 seconds, MySportDab reports.

The Kenyan, 34, covered the 26.2 miles (42.2km) in one hour 59 minutes 40 seconds in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge in Vienna, Austria on Saturday.

It will not be recognised as the official marathon world record because it was not in open competition and he used a team of rotating pacemakers.

"This shows no-one is limited," said Kipchoge.

"Now I've done it, I am expecting more people to do it after me."

These kinsmen of Oshiomole have always been doing great in running contests, regardless of their national flag which someone once said, looks like a herbalist business card.

Oshiomole is proud of you.

It is good...but it should be noted that this is under controleld conditions. He had pacemakers, and the road was clear so to speak...

If he or anyone can replicate it in a real race....good. I'll take notice.

Kenyans and marathon. The only thing Kenyans know how to do better than marathon, is to be involved in a sex scandal.

Kenyans and other East Africans are the best runners worldwide because they evolved from their human ancestors who adapted to running fast to survive because hungry lions in the grassy savannah plains were always chasing them grin
