7 years ago, *Nike* tried the "Breaking 2 (hours) Project" with the great Eliud Kipchoge. But today, *adidas* achieved the impossible by "Breaking with 2 (guys)"!!! 😜

My heart was so sad after Kelvin Kiptum Cheruiyot passed because I thought the dream of seeing this in my lifetime passed with him but congratulations to them.

These times are beyond ridiculous! Especially for Kejelcha on his marathon debut!! I don't think people understand how fast that is! 1:59 is 4:34 per mile on average for 26 miles!

You know what's sad, it's the branded shoes that get the praise yet kenyan children going to school with no stopwatches or SHOES have been running faster than this but you have to praise shoes!!!! I hope one day a Kenyan runs that marathon WITHOUT any shoes and then you will know it has nothing to do with your shoes!!!!
