The Shakeout Podcast: Marathon Madness as Kipchoge goes sub-2 and Kosgei smashes the world record!

Last weekend was arguably the most pivotal two days in marathoning history. Eliud Kipchoge proved his slogan of “no human is limited” by doing what many said couldn’t be done: running under two hours in the marathon. Less than 48 hours later, Brigid Kosgei demolished the 16-year old women’s world record by running 2:14:04.
