"Sawe averaged around 4:33 per mile over 26.2 miles, holding speeds above 13mph from start to finish. 'He has no fear. He knows his strength,' said his uncle, former athlete Abraham Chepkirwok."
"'I am feeling good, I am so happy,' he said. 'It is a day to remember. I have shown that nothing is not possible.'"
"Dr Richard Blagrove, an expert in endurance physiology, explains that elite marathon performance is usually determined by maximal oxygen uptake - known as VO2max - the ability to sustain that oxygen use, and running efficiency."
Over 59,000 participants ran the London Marathon, with elite runners starting first. Sabastian Sawe won with a time of 1:59:30, followed by Yomif Kejelcha at 1:59:41. Sawe maintained a consistent pace, resisting fatigue that typically affects runners. His performance surpassed the previous record of 2:00:35 set by Kelvin Kiptum. Sports scientists attribute elite marathon performance to factors like VO2max, oxygen use sustainability, and running efficiency. Sawe expressed happiness and a sense of achievement after his victory.
