First man to run a marathon in under two hours AND a Spurs fan.
It takes years of dedication, toil, blood, sweat, tears and sacrifice.
Running a marathon is hard too.

17 second 100m's for 2 hours. The man is a machine!

Phenomenal achievement ... but it wasn’t an actual “race”, and won’t stand as a world record. On that basis, I’m not quite sure what the point was. He had 41 different pacemakers dipping in and out of the race, to shelter him from the wind ... and a truck with a laser coming behind him to constantly highlight the shortest route. WTF? 😄

Still one of the greatest sporting achievements of all time regardless of whether it was in race conditions or not.

I think he's shown he can do it in an official race where the result will stand as a World Record.
I have never run a marathon myself, and do not intend to.
I think it does your body no good to hammer your hips and knees for three hours.
I stuck to 10K's until I did my hip in.
Now-a-days I simply hike up steep hills. The view is much better too!
