The 2 hour limit probably happened on a treadmill somewhere without fanfare even before Kipchoge. @mistersql@mastodon.social oh I know! But that was the point of @jacob@social.jacobian.org. (breaking2 was a similar attempt with illegal advantages)
Open post Alexerson @Alexerson@mastodon.social · 5mo ago Replying to @jacob@social.jacobian.org <p>Holy shit it happened! I genuinely thought it would happen on a stunt setting like breaking2 long before it happened in a real sanctioned race.
