Kipchoge broke 2 in the 159 challenge with a time of 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. What do you think?

October 12, 2019, may be the greatest day in the history of world athletics. Marathon king Kipchoge completed the "159 Challenge" in Vienna and became the first person to break the 2-hour marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds, ahead of scientists' previous predictions that humans would break the 2-hour marathon time. Experts predict that 2075 Humans can run a marathon for 2 hours each year, which is as great as landing on the moon.

It is difficult to hit the 2-hour mark under official competition conditions. On the one hand, the marathon race is too long, and external conditions such as the track and weather are changing at any time, which has a great impact on the athletes' performance. On the other hand, the 2-hour marathon is really difficult. It is considered a great achievement comparable to the moon landing in the industry and media circles. At this time, two "breakthroughs and two challenges" came into being. In May 2017, Kipchoge participated in the first challenge in Monza and finally completed the race in 2 hours, 00 minutes and 25 seconds. Although it didn't reach the 2-hour mark, it gave us hope.

In Vienna on October 12, 2019, Kipchoge was better prepared this time, including the track, rabbits, and running shoes. 41 of the world's top athletes took turns playing Kipchoge as a rabbit. In the end, Kipchoge completed the race in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds, successfully breaking the 2-hour mark and breaking through the human limit. This breakthrough is significant. Kipchoge's purpose is to tell everyone through his performance that human sports have no limits and face difficulties and obstacles in life. Be brave enough to challenge the impossible.

As the greatest marathon runner in history, Kipchoge never believed in limits and always challenged his own limits through his own efforts. In the 2003 5000m World Championships, Kipchoge defeated the middle and long-distance running prince Queroy and the long-distance running king Bekele. After missing the 2012 London Olympics, Kipchoge did not lose heart. Instead, he trained harder and switched to marathon, opening up a new world for himself. He broke the marathon world record and won the Olympic title. He remained undefeated for 7 years in the London Marathon from 2014 to 2020. He used his actions to practice his thoughts and was a great athlete who truly realized the unity of knowledge and action.
