Haile Gebrselassie, the greatest endurance athlete of all time became the first man to dip under 2hr 4min for the 26.2-mile race with a stunning performance at the Berlin Marathon yesterday, then predicted he will go even quicker.
"I can run 2:03:30," said Gebrselassie, 35, moments after his time 2:03:59 beat his old record by 27 seconds.

By the way, 2:03:59 is a cool 4:43minutes per mile. OUCH!

A slightly quicker pace than my performance at Hardrock.
Think we'll ever see a sub two?
NPR is just about to discuss that awesome feat! 5:00pm Monday.
I don't think we'll see sub 2 in our lifetime. But who knows... I never thought we'd see 9.5 in the 100M.
