Map the Marathon
What will it take to run a two-hour marathon?
The current world record of 2:02:57, set by Kenyan, Dennis Kimetto in 2014 in Berlin. This works out to 4:41.5 per mile; a sub-two hour marathon would require less than 4:35 per mile. Will a human ever run that fast?
Map the Marathon is an interactive app that builds on research to predict the combining factors in order for a sub-two hour marathon to be possible.
