2 hour marathon attempt

Don't know if anyone else had been following the attempt but regardless of the advantages provided, Kipchoge still had to run those 4m 36 second miles .
Feels like a failure as they didn't do what they set out to do but this is a staggering achievement and shows that it is likely that it is physically possible. (although let's face it , can we trust that any of these times are clean?)
The only other person to come close to a 2 hour marathon from memory was Michael Crawford.
Wonder what the outcome would have been if they'd done it on a track.
