Eliud Kipchoge on Saturday became the first person in history to run a 26.2-mile marathon in less than two hours.
The 34-year-old from Kenya clocked in with an astonishing 1:59:40 at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge event in Vienna, Austria.
Im feeling good, Kipchoge said after the run. Im the first man, I want to inspire many people that no human is limited.

Kipchoges stunning time wont go down in the world record books, though, because he did not run the race in open marathon conditions, reported The New York Times . Instead, he ran on a recently paved road and the only other runners were a rotating group of pacesetters.

Kipchoge still holds the official record , however, with his 2:01:39 run in the 2018 Berlin Marathon.
As Kipchoge crossed the finish line, the crowds erupted both in the Austrian capital and on Twitter, where many fans admitted to shedding tears at the history-making moment:
Genuinely shedding a tear at the incredible Eliud Kipchoge footage. The sheer joy on everyones faces.

For me, this is the most impressive sporting achievement in history. Absolutely moved to tears to be able to witness this in my lifetime. A sub-2hour marathon. To get perspective, go and try to run at 21kph for 300meters....
