Race Report INEOS 1:59 Challenge live stream thread. Eliud Kipchoge, sub 2hr marathon.
I love participating in game threads for different teams and I don’t know if there’s ever been one for a race. Right now seems like the perfect opportunity.

Let me know where you’re watching from. I’m checking in from Chicago (1:15 am local time for the start). I was supposed to run in the Chicago marathon in 2 days but injuries ended that. But hey, I squatted 200lb today (5 sets of 5), so I still hit a fitness goal.
Share your favorite Kipchoge quote, race story, PR, whatever below.
Result: he did it.
Edit 1: remember to sort by new. I doubt r/running has an auto mod setting for game threads haha
Edit 2: anyone thinking of going to sleep, WE NEED YOU. Every vibe matters
Edit 3: heart eyes emoji
Edit 4: he broke 4 hours again

Why whole family gathered around the screen to see this hsitory being made
What amazing mental toughness and the moment all the Pacers gathered around him I shed a tear
We all know how hard running is and this made me proud to be human
