The 2-hour marathon barrier has officially been broken… so now we have to ask the real questions:

What’s next? And who’s going to do it?

For years, people believed humans would NEVER run a sub-4 minute mile… until it happened. Then people believed humans would NEVER run a sub-2 hour marathon… until it happened.

Now that the marathon has entered a completely new era, the next goal might sound insane:

🔥 Could we one day see a 1:55:00 marathon?

A 1:55 marathon requires an average pace of 4:23 per mile (2:44/km) — which is about 10 seconds faster per mile than today’s 1:59:30 record. That’s a massive leap, but history shows that records keep falling faster than expected.

In this video, I break down:
✅ The math behind a 1:55 marathon
✅ Why a 1:55 might be possible in the future
✅ The 4 athletes who could dominate the next era of marathoning
✅ Who has the best chance to attack the sub-2 barrier again

We’ll take a look at:

🏃‍♂️ John Korir
🏃‍♂️ Jacob Kiplimo
🏃‍♂️ Yomif Kejelcha
🏃‍♂️ Sebastian Sawe

So what do YOU think?

💬 Is a 1:55 marathon possible?
💬 Who will be the next runner to go under 2 hours?
