Sabastian Sawe's performance in the London Marathon today was incredible. Ever since the 2 hour mark was broken in controlled conditions, it was obvious it would only be a matter of time before it happened in a race, but I certainly thought that barrier would hold for a couple more years. For three runners today to go inside the old world record, and two of them sub-2 hours is an insane achievement. I went for a nice 10k run this evening, and at the end of it decided to see how far I could run at the average pace they'd managed for 42.2km. I consider myself quite fit, but that pace is basically a sprint for me, I couldn't even make it to 100m before I was gassed. Truly unbelievable running.
