Well, if Lindgren can hold a faster pace than this for 26 miles (sarcasm) I think get can do it too.

If he doesn't explode this will be the most impressive athletic achievement ever!
Amazing pace, it'll be awesome if they can sustain anything close to that! But if you look at the splits and the difference between them (and assume they are accurate) they are slowing down. The split between 14K and 10K was 2:04:20 pace... It'll vary, but man, I hope they can keep it going around 2:04!
I would love to think they simply realized their mistake and toned the pace back down...but who knows
they'll slow it down in the middle a little i'd expect... no way they'll take it too fast for too long... i say anything less than 1:01:30 through the half will be too fast to break the record
I guess he was too confident. There is absolutely positively no way he can run under 2:04 with this pace.
Impossible.
Isn't it weird to think that right now, as we speak, Geb is running?
only 2:04:20 pace?
he's flying!!!!!!!!!
18K (52:15)... One pacer dropped out... I cannot recognize him.. too far (the shot)
danggg this guy is beastly.. we're nearing the half way point arent we? i hope he didnt go out too fast..
Geb is adidas sponsored, "Impossible is nothing" remember?

As the ad campaign goes, impossible is nothing.
2:02:29 pace

Roughly 2:02:30 pace.
2:02 low pace
Maybe Geb knows something we don't know about his own conditioning. Hard to believe a guy like that would let himself be drawn out too fast....
Didn't mean it like that - 2:04 is ridiculously impressive and fast, but they are slowing. The 14-18K split was at 2:04:50 pace. Hopefully it is good that they are slowing so Geb can at least even split, but if they went out too fast, not good!

yea I was just kidding. Hopefully geb is getting his water and carbs early.
Geb is running to plan .. he wanted a 2:02 ... and Fab must just hang in there with Korrir .. it is theres... cheers and good luck Henny
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
