"Nothing tells us that this theoretical limit is an actual one. Of course, no one will ever run a marathon in 1:30. But could we see a 1:56, or even a 1:55 someday? I wouldn't bet against it."
"Marathon times are getting faster, for a large part because of the carbon-plated super shoes."
Sabastian Sawe made history by completing a marathon in under two hours, finishing in 1:59:30. Experts suggest that the ultimate limit for marathon times has not yet been reached. Advancements in training, nutrition, and technology, particularly with carbon-plated shoes, are contributing to faster marathon times. Since 1999, marathon records have improved significantly, with athletes like Eliud Kipchoge previously running under two hours in non-competitive conditions. The potential for even faster times remains, with predictions of sub-1:56 marathons in the future.
