The Marathon GOAT

8 – the number of marathons Eliud Kipchoge has won in a row (9 when we include Nike’s Breaking2), 7 of which are majors. The Abbott World Marathon Majors. 

Eliud Kipchoge, the Marathon GOAT, shaved over half a minute from the previous marathon world record in the 2018 Berlin Marathon (2:01:39).

Interestingly, Kipchoge was so fast on the streets of Berlin that 2 of his 3 pacesetters dropped off 15 minutes into the blistering race held on 16th Sep 2018. Read Also: Shoes For Squats. 

In fact, Kipchoge’s third pacesetter dropped off almost halfway into the race – after which Marathon GOAT actually sped up ?. Amos Kipruto (also a Kenya) was second in the race (2:06:23) – 5 minutes after Kipchoge.
