21kmh for a marathon is absolutely insane. Somehow I've never put two and two together on that before.

- mikestew 3y agoThere have been opportunities to try running at world-record pace on a giant treadmill, with a crowd to watch you land on your ass while you try and run at a sub-5:00/mile pace: https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a23634309/runners-attempt-world-record-marathon-pace/ https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a23634309/runners-attempt-... For reference, I believe the pace Kipchoge ran for his world record is about as fast as I ran when I set our high school's 2 mile/3200m record. It's a solid record that I still hold 45 years later, but Kipchoge did it for 24 more miles. Insane, indeed.
