Has his Marathon record really been beaten or has Elliot Kipchoge just run a time trial over the distance in 1.59.40.?

A magnificent effort which ever way it is viewed.

In addition to the run two other things caught my eye.

Firstly INEOS being the main sponsor with even Chris Froome giving him a hug at the end and secondly Mo Farah not being among the elite runners helping with the pacing, or at least offering his support.

I wonder why!
