Will it be considered a world record?
The perfect v formation in front of him at all times surely must invalidate it if so?
Still a phenomenal achievement tho! 2:50 p/km ... farkkkkk!!!!!
According to that ABC Grandstand piece I heard (think it was Quentin Hull?) it won't be world record. But still amazing.

Doesn't count as world record. But an amazing achievement. I couldn't keep that pace up for 120 seconds, let alone 120 minutes
Yep, running is for emergencies only at this point in my life.

Cool achievement. Yes they contrive it, but Jesus that pace is awesome. Glad they made it

I don't care if he was towed behind a car, to run that distance at that pace is phenomenal.

@Cyclops Interesting!
Google throws up this explanatory story.

Since Delamere had the longest recorded jump in a sanctioned meet using the mid-air somersault, the ban effectively sealed his status as the technique’s world record holder.

Apparently the fastest recorded 1,000 meter by a NZer this year is 2.44.... Eliud's fastest 1km split was 2.43
phenomenal
Who runs 1000m and times it?
Seems likely he had the record by default.
Good point, perhaps you should pop out tomorrow and run 1,000 metres and claim the record for yourself.

Precisely. Pick a distance you think you're good at and keep in mind how you're going to continuously maintain that pace.
