Three people beat the former record time for the London Marathon; Jacob Kiplimo, Yomif Kejelcha and Sabastian Sawe. The last two of those completed the run in under two hours
Astonishingly this was Kejelcha’s first marathon. Sawe holds the new record at 1:59:30.
Pretty incredible accomplishments to maintain 13mph for two hours. Seems almost superhuman - somewhat amusing for how similar the record keeper’s name is to a certain X-Men character with kinetic powers.
