Kipchoge spent four months training for the unprecedented run against the clock.
Kipchoge's sub-two-hour marathon attempt was planned with military precision.
The course in Vienna was carefully selected, taking into account factors like temperature, humidity, wind speed, and elevation.
His speed was maintained by 41 runners.
They sprinted in a v-shaped formation in alternating teams of seven, they also protected Kipchoge from the wind.
A car followed closely behind the group moving at the pace required to beat the two-hour time limit.
To save time, Kipchoge was fed pre-prepared drinks and energy on the course.
But his record time will not be recognized as an official world record by the International Association of Athletics Federation as the marathon was not approved by the IAAF.
Kipchoge has won every marathon he has participated in since 2014, including the gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
