When will the first man run the marathon under 2 hours?
How Much Further For The Sub-Two-Hour Marathon? The border of 2 hours for a marathon for men is one of the big sound limits in sports. In this post, we present a mathematical model with which the possible year in which a man could break the barrier of less than 2 hours can be estimated, and also an assessment of when a woman could break the record of the marathon of Paula Radcliffe. Furthermore, we present some aspects (eg physiology, nationality, age, biomechanics, pacing and drafting), which break through the mileage of marathon runners at elite runners and finally the possible characteristics of the man, the 2-hour time, are connected. In summary, it is possible with the results of the developed equations that a male athlete can break through the 2-hour border next decade (with the performance of Nike® Breaking2 1920-2018 \ [NBP ]: Y = 0.0417x2- 14, 18x +3,128; Year 2026; without Nike® Breaking2 1920-2018: Y = 0.045 × 2-15.12 × + 3,194; Year 2027).
