Welcome to the Runner's World Show, where each week we entertain you, inspire you, and inform you about all things running.

I'm David Willie, editor-in-chief of Runner's World. This week, the next installment in my Moonshot

Marathon series. In the hopes of finally qualifying for Boston, I hope to run a sub-330 marathon at the end

of May.

I have been training for months.

On and off.

I've had a few injuries.

But recently, I've gotten into serious training and things are actually looking pretty

Then in the kick, some fast questions for the fastest man in the world.

And our staff tries a whole different spin on the beer mile.

But first, we recap one of the biggest stories of the year in running,

and probably among the most astonishing running feats of all time. This past Saturday, on a Formula One racetrack in Manza, Italy, three Nike-sponsored marathoners

set out to crack one of the most formidable barriers in our sport, the two-hour marathon.

The event was the culmination of years of research by the Nike team and months of closely monitored training by the athletes.

Alas, they did not break the two-hour barrier. In fact, both De Sissa and Tedese

dropped off the pace right around the halfway mark. Kipchogi, however, wearing a bright red

singlet, ran alone behind a team of pacer's, and was on pace until about the 35 kilometer mark,

or around 21 or 22 miles.

He came so close and ended up finishing in two hours and 25 seconds.

Kipchogi's previous personal best was 20305, which he ran last year at the London Marathon.
