A new world record marathon: Eliud Kipchoge cracks his own personal best

šŸŽ‰ Today is another one for the history books!


šŸ‘ŠšŸ¼Eliud Kipchoge shattered his own world record during the Berlin Marathon 2022.


šŸš€The outlandish time: 2:01.09 hours.


šŸ¤ÆHe previously cracked 2h under unofficial rules. Nevertheless, the time above is an improved of over 30s to his own official world record. Mind-blowing.


šŸƒšŸæā€ā™‚ļøJust to put that into perspective for CrossFitĀ® athletes: That speed is about as fast as some of the best CrossFitter's on a 400m sprint - just for over 42km!


šŸ”„ Kipchoge needs about 2:50min per km, which is equivalent to 1:08min for 400m. Surely many of the top CrossFitĀ® athletes crack the 1:00min barrier on a 400m sprint, but a few have times listed that are in that 1:05min range.


šŸ„“Now imagine running your 400m best 106 times in a row without stopping. That's how much of a beast Kipchoge is!
