Starts in a few hours. Marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge is going to attempt to be the first person to run a marathon in under 2 hours. He attempted the same in 2017 and came up just short with a time of 2:00:25. It won't count as an official world record but it will be remarkable to witness in my opinion so I'm sharing in case anyone is interested.

If he does so, like in the Nike-sponsored event, the time won't count as a world record as it isn't part of an officially sanctioned race and is using pacemakers that rotate in and out of the run.
for anyone wondering - like i was - why it won't count as world record if he makes it.

It shows the pace they need to maintain to hit 2:00:00

it's so ridiculous
try running a 100 meter in 17 seconds. If you're in reasonable shape, you'll manage, maybe you even do it in 16-15, 14 you're pretty athletic.
Then do 420 more of those without stopping.

this is pretty nuts; but he does have access to that team Nike, team Oregon, coach salazar, top notch Galen Rupp gear. That shit grows you a 3rd lung
