How Fast Is 2 Hour Marathon Pace? 

Even keeping up that pace for ten minutes and some extra seconds is pretty impressive. Well done, Goran!

I've seen a few of these comparisons now, and it just reinforces to me how insanely fast this pace is. I can't even reach this speed, let alone maintain it for any length of time!

Whats more impressive is that Kipchoge just smiled and not even a panting after that race.

The other day I saw a clip on Instagram of a bunch of Kenyan runners that were running next to each other on 12 treadmills, and just like you did here, they also had that elegant long stride. It makes the running look so beautiful!

I beat my own record with a 5:44min/km pace over 8km a few days ago. I'm shocked that I would have to run nearly twice as fast to match the pace of the marathon record.

NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ru-vid.comUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!

The way that Kipchoge was GLIDING 13mph was phenomenal! He is truly a G.O.A.T. of long distance!

You're basically a sub-elite runner who is way, way ahead of even a keen runner like me who can do 5k in 19 minutes so the fact that you can only last about 10 mins at this pace just shows how superhuman Kipchoge and any of these athletes running a Marathon in under 2:05 are. I would really struggle to last 2 mins at this pace so that shows you how far ahead of a 19:18 5k runner a 15:30 5k runner is = 5 times as long! Thanks for the video and the effort!

I’ve seen videos of people at Nike meet ups or something hop on a treadmill that going at kipchoges pace and they can’t even keep it for a minute. You kept a little faster pace for a little bit over 10 minutes. Honestly impressive.

"If you need someone to pace you for the first 10 minutes....".....ahaha, excellent stuff Goran

These 10 minutes show that you are an excellent runner. Kipchoge is from a different planet :)

I tried it too, kept it for 2 mins 13 seconds 😂 pretty happy with that! Your result is amazing !

I ran my first marathon in a bit over 4 hours, i was already pretty happy with that time!

Love the video! Awesome experiment and respect Goran, quite a form you have. Keep posting, you have a fan here.

Well done Goran. That was impressive, and the video really showed how extremely difficult is to run a marathon at that pace!!!

man you make it look effortless. You look as relaxed as I feel at 17kph. Your stride is so efficient.

You're a legend Goran...in shape i can do 400m repeats at that pace and thats all for me!!! If you can sustain that pace for over 10 minutes, there is no reason that with training you couldn't do it for a 5 km on the treadmill in the future! 😀

Dude you are amazing 10 min at 434 per mile by the way that's how fast it is ive seen your videos before just not for a while glad I found you again there's so many runners on RU-vid it's crazy you are definitely one of my favorites can't wait to see more of what you got.

Great job Göran!! And your videos are always so well filmed and edited!! I am sure you will grow a lot on RU-vid

Veldig bra Goran! Really impressive that you hold this awesome pace for 10 min. Med vennlig hilsen fra tyskland Daniel

Well done Göran, fantastic effort! Great video and challenge. And congrats on over 40k subs.. I remember when you ticked past 10k!

your personality is truly commendable. thank you for this

While watching this video, I remind myself of the first time you’ve ever ran a sub 9 minute 3k. You look amazing running 21.5 kph, and I really wonder how fast you could run an all out 3k now. Keep moving forward!!!

Nice illustration toe get a scope of how insane Kipchoge running is.Greetings from Nairobi Kenya.

your videos are just the best videos around dude! super charismatic and great content. big fan here :)

Feel pretty honored getting to see Kipchoge, Bekele and Farah running just outside my front door in Greenwich, during the London Marathon. Amazing when it's roads you've jogged on yourself and can get an idea of how fast they're going.

Hi Goran, impressive pace! Well done for doing it for more than 10 minutes. Keep it going!

Very impresive Göran. I like your videos so much and I cannot await the next one.

This pace looks so outlandish to me. Huge respect for keeping it up this long!

Absolutely amazing!! Well done 👏

Amazing work to maintain that pace for so long! I think Kipchoge will run the first sub 2 hour official world record sometime in the next few years. He seems in great shape, especially with the Tokyo Marathon win in 2:02:40, where he missed a turn! If it's not Kipchoge, then I think it'll be Jacob Kiplomo.

He is an absolute machine! Insane 💪🏼💪🏼

Goran your videos are always brilliant and your content hugely enjoyable! Keep being your brilliant self and good things will happen 👏

Well done Goran!! I will be amazing to see the 2hrs barrier conquered!!.

Awesome! Great inspiration for me in my getting serious about running again. Thank You!!!

I used to be a runner then moved to weights for a long time now back to running. Thank you for your videos , just done a run now having a chill out beer

Great form! 10 minutes is impressive for sure, good work 💪

Such a fun and engaging video! Great idea and execution!

Great effort and great content! 👍 Just subbed

Thats a crazy pace, good job for the 10 minutes. I liked the video subject matter.

Nice video! You said it right. Not only is the speed at which Kipchoge runs the Marathon amazing, but also the perfect and beautiful form he somehow manages to keep during the entire distance is unbelievable. An absolute legend of the sport.

Sjukt imponerande! Starkt! Helt ofattbart hur någon klarar det i 2 timmar

A truly amazing performance. Well done.

Man, you rock! 💪

Impressive! If only you could hang on for 4 more minutes, then you would have done a 14min 5km 😂 amazing to hang on for as long as you did!!

Great effort, man this is epic.

it's amazing to me how u compare yourself to him and the difference between you two is obvious. yet i could only dream of doing what you did in the next 3 months maybe in my journey to a healthier more active life style . Great job man first timer her but definitely gonna subscribe.

Great effort, I have a lot of respect, thanks for the video. Stu

Good job man, I didn’t think you were going to be able to make it that far

Hi Göran, well done!!! Moreover, yes I think we'll see a sub 2 hours marathon in our lifetime.

Good effort put out all the way.

I could probably hold this pace for 800-1200m. My 5k pb is 16:37 :p

Nice video! impressive that you can keep up that pace for so long! Can you add your heart rate metrics beside the duration counter next time? 😃

I love your content! keep it up!

I did this challenge not long ago and I manage to run for 90 seconds, I'm much closer to beat a 100 meter runner in the olympics then keep up with Kipchoges pace for 1000 meters, insane. Good running and a great video Göran.

Well said!!! I'm out with PF at the moment. Literally crying watching this.

impressive! You looked so effortless

Brilliant! And loved your offer to Kipchoge lol

Goran, you are a BEAST!!! I can’t even imaging running that fast for that long. The fastest I’ve ever run in a 5K was I think around 4:52 for the first mile. I was 16 years old and was doing literally no pacing. I’m pretty sure that ESPN was there filming it for their Running and Racing TV show. I’ve always thought about contacting them so I get footage of me in that first mile keeping 1st place in the race. The thing is, there were pro runners there who went on to win the race and a 4:52 mile didn’t even phase them. I couldn’t believe how relaxed and calm they were. Anyways, you’re awesome dude. I’m impressed. Oh. And you have a great leg kick. It’s going to help you run fast.

I'm super impressed man. Wow. Bravo

Great job. Best result I’ve seen on RU-vid. Thank you for sharing your courage and pain with us. Very inspiring

Well done!! ✊🏾

I would love to see also a comparison of heart rates at that pace, perhaps the difference would be significant (of course).

Seems like you're in sub 15min 5k shape, that's amazing! What are you training for at the moment?

Congrats ‼️👏👏👏

Thanks for the Video. I was running in Berlin in 2018 and people were supporting us with the world record time. Well, when he finished I was at the half Marathon mark... Unbelievable pace. unbelievable. What was your pulse by the way?

Well done. Another great video

Super impressive!

This is epic well done

I like how humble is this guy. Very nice and good job Kipchoge is a professional athlete and day-in-day-out, runs a marathon distance several times a week.

Top man. Well done 👍🏃🏻‍♂️👏

You're amazing! That was impressive ☺️

I've seen a few of these comparisons and you lasted more then most. Honestly an insane pace.

I'm getting a stitch just watching man. Keeping the pace for 10 minutes is solid.

Good job, man ... you could keep Kipchoge's pace for around 10 minutes, that's amazing.

That is insane! 10 min keeping that. Well done! 😮

I love your insane ideas!

Incredible 💪🏼

This was a really fun video. We wanna see you try this on track. 👍

Great content, Keep it up. Subscribed to the channel :)

Firstly, I enjoy your videos and information you share. You have a great attitude about life and are pleasant to watch. With this, I’m wondering what the average incline for these marathon times are… for example, in 1908, where was the marathon tracked as compared to 1956. Also, where was the current record set. Just some general curiosity ❤ Looking forward to seeing more from you, keep it up! 😊

Very good, Goran!

Wow! Great job!

Really puts things in perspective... 😅 Thanks

This is really impressive. I wish I break 3:45 for one kilometer someday. Have you ever tried to callibrate this threadmill and/or footpod? On my treadmill the real speed is 9% slower and I see that in different shoes I have different callibration factor for foodpod as well.

Epic effort👍🏻

Good job. Honest analysis

Snyggt jobbat!!

You make great running videos dude. Also I wish I lived in Norway sir

Huge respect dude. M running 10kms at 5:55min/km nowadays but not sure if I can match up this pace of yours for even 10mtrs.

I was shocked, how super hard it is (tried to keep 3min/km for few seconds :) ) and result of my experiment is clear: no, no way, no one can keep this pace for 2h. :-)

Dude, the way your breath was going in the end 💪

Amazing more than 10 min that's a solid time Goran. Yes you are right treadmill running is significantly easier than outdoors but still solid run Congratulations...Keep posting great videos...

Great running brother

Big respect to keep that pace with solid shape. 3.5km in no joke in just 10min

Great job!!

Just wow!!! 2 hours at this pace is beyond insane!!!

Very impressed!!!

Great challenge. Forget 10 minutes, I could not last for 10 seconds! Well done.

Running like Kipchoge or even close to him is a genetic gift for sure. Not even the best runners amongst could train to attain such a pace and endurance. Cardiovascular, muscles, Lactic pain acid buildup, etc. There’s something very unique with their bodies. Those guys r built that way at birth.
