Did anyone think we'd ever see the day the two-hour marathon barrier was broken? Eliud Kipchoge certainly did...

The Kenyan had a world-class team of pacemakers, a course and conditions primed perfectly for running and even a support car shooting laser beams to help him achieve what many deemed impossible.

Because of that, it won't be recognised as a world-record time - though Kipchoge already holds that anyway - just a landmark moment in human endeavour and achievement - 26.2 miles in one hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. Incredible.

That's it from us, but you can read the full report on Kipchoge's achievement here.

Might just head out for a jog...
