For those among us who've run marathons, you know how hard the effort was to run your fastest time. Then you read someone has finally, and officially, gone under two hours and you think, how much faster that is than you.
Incredible. He did indeed come, Sawe, and conquer!!

I ran one london marathon but was four and a half hours.
Ran around 60 half marathons and many 10k races, but all in my 20s.
My half marathon best time was 1 hour 24 minutes and i felt i was sprinting the whole way.
This guy ran two 59 minute halfs, one after the other.
Thats insane.
26 miles run of 4 minutes 33 seconds miles , 26 times in a row !!! [Post edited 26 Apr 23:56]

My lad done a few London's I was there when He finished under Three hours for the first time, It wasn't just special It was a bloody special moment, pride of place In my mancave Is a picture of him and Mrs Ted crossing the London marathon finishing line together In 2003.
A sub-two-hour marathon Is just Incredible |  |

Sub three hours is a brilliant time Ted by your son
Had a picture at the finish line with my dad in 1996. Its a special photo, and a very proud moment, but its such a tough thing to do.
Great you got some amazing memories. [Post edited 26 Apr 23:55]

Incredible!
But I’m not sure they’d have achieved that without me breathing down their necks (ok I finished in 4:54:58 so not that close, but happy with that for my 1st and only marathon at 61) |  | | |

A speed of over 13 miles an hour is impressive.I doubt I could achieve that speed on a bike let alone running. |  | | |

I used to do Park Runs and his average 5k time (14m10s) would smash any record at any Park Run I've been to I reckon.
That's insane. |  |

Its amazing pace. I have done a couple of marathons (3:10 PB) and loads of other races. I once done a 1k relay event, done 3 x 1k relays and managed c3:10-3:15 for the 1ks which was a podium finish for our team that day, this guy run quicker than that 42 times on the trot!!!
I think 99.5% of people in the country (maybe even higher) could not run that pace for 400m let alone 42195m [Post edited 27 Apr 9:48]

I once did a half marathon on 1h42. I'd watched in previous years and the top athletes were going faster than I could have run 200m. Different class. |  |

Yep, I've run London and the thought that this guy would have lapped me (and then a (little) some) over 26.2 miles is sobering.
Someone said that the conditions (cool, clear, calm, dry) were perfect for this attempt at sub-2hours but no matter. Mindblowing achievement. | | | |

Just rang QPR, and you should expect a call from someone called, Ben Williams.

I think that the guy who came second, Yomif Kejelcha, was running in his first ever marathon.
If that's the case, I wonder if he will go on to smash his time in the future. |  |

Well, you can't fall off so I find it more understandable than rock climbing. |  |
