That's simply insane. ~13.1 miles (~21.1 km) at <57 minutes is such an incredible pace. That averages out to about 4:20 minutes per mile, or 2:42 minutes per kilometer.
Amazing.
-
That's 13.8 miles per hour. Faster than my commercial treadmill can go. I've run a half marathon and mostly focus on 5ks and I even hohhy runners won't be able to sustain 13.8 mph for much more than a minute let alone 57...
Insane!

An incredible run... My best half is exactly an hour slower. And I'm pretty confident I cannot run one 4:20min mile.
-
Damn, he beat the record by 42 seconds. That's extremely impressive. I'd assumed it would be less then a ten second difference.
-
Right?? Even at my peak fitness, my fastest mile was about 4:10 and I literally puked after just doing one mile (and I definitely didn't keep running afterwards). Here's this dude maintaining that speed for 13 miles.

Athens is going to know about their victory over the Persians in 490BC so fast
-
I can run a mile in... holy fuck, never mind. My heart is going to explode. I ran how much? 20 yards?
Being old sucks.

And here I am happy when I run 10 km in under an hour. Damn this guy is amazing
-
Here my upvote for going the extra mile (kilometrer) to provide both times and speed in both metric and imperial.

will you please reLAX?!
