A great achievement nonetheless.
His record stands for being the first human to run a full marathon in under 2 hours..similar to R Bannister's under 4 minute mile......using pace setters.
Official world records are usually only set in actual competitions...like official events...
But he is the first....will it be broken in an actual race....difficult to say.....
