We Ran As Far As We Can at World Record Marathon Pace

The marathon world record now sits at 1:59:31, and to understand just how insanely fast that is, we tried running at that pace for as long as we could.

Alexis, Jessy, Kosuke, Michael, and Alex take turns running at 1:59 marathon pace (that's 4:34/mile, or 2:50/km) until failure. Watch to see how far Team Marathon Handbook makes it.
