The Greatest




That's Haile Gebrselassie (Geb) becoming the first human being to ever run 26.2 miles in under 2 hours and 4 minutes. For those of you keeping score, that's 4 minutes and 40 seconds per mile pace.

For those of you keeping score further, he has now held numerous world records in the 5K, 10K and marathon in a career that dates back to the early '90s.

There are many people who run. There are recreational runners, competitive runners, sub-elite runners, elite runners, and then there is Geb.

Well, I gotta get a run in..........I only need to shave another 66 minutes off my PR to catch this little bastage.
