Eliud Kipchoge wins a record fourth London Marathon

It's the latest achievement for arguably the greatest marathon runner in history -- his time of two hours, two minutes and 37 seconds is the second fastest marathon of all time
The rest of the field simply couldn't handle the pace as Kipchoge put his foot down at the halfway mark and then again with just over a mile left to run.
His time was slightly off his own world record pace of two hours, one minute and 39 seconds -- which he set at the Berlin Marathon in 2018.
