I was watching on Youtube. That speed is just insane! Yes there were pacers etc - but he ran at >13mph for 2 hours. :o

And he still had energy to run about at the end...amazing stuff.

ElyDave:
and it's not "just" sub 2-hour, it's 20 seconds under 2hours!

andyoxon:
Will be fascinating to see how he does in future race conditions.
