Eliud Kipchoge ran a new 2:01:09 marathon world record breaking his previous world record time of 2:01:39.
Below were the splits he hit during the race:
28:23 at 10K (1:59:41 marathon pace)
56:45 (20K)
59:41 through the first half
1:11:08 (25K)
1:25:40 (30K)
1:40:10 (35K)
1:54:53 (40K)
Finish: 2:01:09 marathon world record
Kipchoge made that race look so easy and was hitting splits of between 2:48 to 2:52 per kilometer throughout the entire race. His slowest kilometer split in the race was a 3:11 at or around 39 kilometers.
His average pace per mile was 4 minutes and 37 seconds. Kipchoge averaged 2:52.3 per kilometer for the entire 42.2 kilometers. I am at a loss for words on incredible this athlete is.

We also have training resources available here to help you drop significant time off of your current personal bests. RunDreamAchieve was created in 2011 and features running courses, training plans and monthly online coaching. The goal here is always to train smarter rather than harder. There are already plenty of hard working athletes out there who still miss their time goals.
My training philosophy stems from 3 world-class coaches I was fortunate enough to have been coached and mentored by. RunDreamAchieve.com was created to help share this knowledge with you. Higher mileage is not a guarantee you are going to set a new personal best. Smarter, more strategic training is the end goal and improving your body's lactate tolerance.
