We are working on The Week That Was which should come out tomorrow. We are trying to figure out if Eliud Kipchoge has run the fastest average time for his first two marathon finishes in history.
We think we've gone through the list of everyone in history who has run under 2:06 and think he's your winner. Let us know if we missed anyone.
