Amazing really if you think about it. I would like to run that pace for well 1k…

Haile Gebrselassie broke the marathon world record in Berlin on Sunday, posting an official time of two hours, four minutes and 26 seconds.

The 34-year-old Ethiopian beat the mark of 2:04:55 set by Kenya’s Paul Tergat in Berlin in September 2003.

Gebrselassie was already 32 seconds inside Tergat’s pace at the 10km mark and went through halfway at 62.29.
