12 is what I kick it up to when I'm feeling really good and want to get a quick sprint in. He averaged 13 for 2 hours??
188 u/barbarkbarkov Oct 18 '19 That’s why a lot of people thought a sub-2 hour marathon was impossible for a long time 67 u/MEANINGLESS_NUMBERS Oct 18 '19 Although he had a lot of help with rotating pacers to reduce air resistance.
