Vid Hypersonic September 28, 2014 Share September 28, 2014 Approximately 7 mins for per 2.4 km sustained over the entire marathon. It's 2.4km x 20 times leh. So his 122 min divide by 20 is 6.1 [sweatdrop] ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porker Turbocharged September 28, 2014 Share September 28, 2014 It's 2.4km x 20 times leh. So his 122 min divide by 20 is 6.1 [sweatdrop] Thought a marathon is 42.195 km and hence equates to approximately 17.58 times 2.4 km? 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mits_jc 5th Gear September 28, 2014 Share September 28, 2014 Imagine running 2.4km in 7min, that's the average speed he can sustain over the course of the 42.195km distance. Respect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender Hypersonic September 28, 2014 Author Share September 28, 2014 That's one of the reasons why. High altitude training. Yes, thin air, low oxygen level.. Once the respiratory and circulatory system can adapt to this conditions, coming down to sea level is like breathing us breathing thru oxygen tank.

Ktglfc Hypersonic September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 Sibei fast. Under 2hr 3 mins.... https://sg.sports.yahoo.com/news/kenyas-dennis-kimetto-breaks-marathon-world-record-092838412--spt.html AFP News/Tobias Schwarz - Kenya's Dennis Kimetto celebrates winning the 41st edition of the Berlin Marathon on September 28, 2014 in a new world record Kenya's Dennis Kimetto smashed the world record in the Berlin Marathon on Sunday as he made history by becoming the first man to break the 2hr 03min barrier. Dennis Kimetto of Kenya crosses the finish line in a new world record time of 2:02:57 to win the 41st Berlin marathon, …His lightning fast run of 2hr 02min 57sec was the second year running that the record had been broken in Berlin, the previous best being 26 seconds slower -- the 2:03.23 set over the same course last year by compatriot Wilson Kipsang.The performance by the 30-year-old, a former farmer from western Kenya's high-altitude Rift Valley region, delivered a new benchmark in human endurance and cemented the Kenyans' total dominance of international road racing. Dennis Kimetto of Kenya celebrates after winning the 41st Berlin marathon, September 28, 2014. Kimetto finished …"As the race went on, I saw I could do it, I'm delighted to have won," the modest Kimetto said after making history and nudging world leading times close to the two-hour barrier.Kimetto, the pre-race favourite, was part of a seven-man breakaway group after 20km, which included fellow-Kenyans Emmanuel Mutai and Geoffrey Kamworor. But Kimetto shook off Mutai four kilometres from home and crossed the line in record time over what is regarded as the world's fastest marathon course. Mutai finished second, also inside the previous record time with a run of 2:03.13 -- illustrating the depth of Kenya's talent. Dennis Kimetto from Kenya holds a flag after winning the 41st Berlin Marathon in Berlin, Germany, Sunday, Sept. …Ethiopia's Abera Kuma a long way back in third in 2:05.56.Kimetto hails from the town of Eldoret -- a part of the country that has produced some of the most dominant distance runners in history and is emerging as the world's training capital. He was working as a farmer in an impoverished rural area before he took up running in his mid-20s, joining the training group of Geoffrey Mutai -- a Boston, Berlin and two-time New York marathon champion and the former holder of the unofficial world best, a 2:03.02 set in Boston. His first major win came in Nairobi's Half Marathon in 2011, and he went on to finish second behind his training partner Mutai in the Berlin Marathon in 2012. His 2:04.16 was the fastest marathon debut in history, and notable as he is one of a new breed of Kenyan road racers who do not have a track pedigree. In 2013 he won the Tokyo Marathon, setting a course record of 2:06.50, and then the 2013 Chicago Marathon in a course record of 2:03.45 -- where he also beat Emmanuel Mutai into second place. In the women's race, Tirfi Tsegaye led an Ethiopia 1-2, winning in 2:20.18 from Feyse Tadese (2:20.27) -- failing to break the 2:20 barrier and still a way off the 2:15.25 set by Britain's Paula Radcliffe in London in 2003. Shalane Flanagan of the United Statges was third in 2:21.14, a personal best but short of the American record. I haven't even reach the half way mark with his timing of 2hr Congrats to him :)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Hypersonic September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 That's one of the reasons why. High altitude training. In our hot climate, timing for marathon can never achieve such a good timing. Even the marathon is conducted during the early morning, but the hot and stuffy weather can also kill. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
