Kelvin Kiptum šŸ‡°šŸ‡Ŗ is already making a name for himself in the running world after just his 2nd ever marathon appearance! Last weekend at the London Marathon, the 23 year old sensation from Eldoret became the second fastest man in marathon history, thanks to his 2:01:25 clocking. Kiptum just missed Kipchoge’s official marathon record of 2:01:09 by 16 seconds šŸ¤ After going out in 61:40, Kiptum decided it was time to unleash the beast, immediately picking up the pace when the last rabbit dropped off. At 30k, there were seven guys within 10 seconds of Kiptum. At 40k, only Geoffrey Kamworor was within two minutes of Kiptum 😳 Between 30k and 40k, Kelvin clocked a 27:50 10k split. From 30k to the finish, Kiptum ran the last 12.195km in 34:02 - which is 58:45 half marathon (4:28.9 mile pace) āš”ļø Kelvin was absolutely flying in the second half of the race, as he dropped the greatest half marathon negative split in the history of the distance, 59:45. That’s faster than Eliud Kichoge’s...
