"The pacemakers did a great job, they are among the best runners of all time. I thank them and appreciate them for accepting the job. I wanted to run under two hours and show human beings can do a good job and lead a good life. It shows the positivity of sport. I want to make the sport an interesting sport whereby all human beings can run and together we can make this world a beautiful world."

Jim Ratcliffe, chairman of INEOS said: "That was sensational. It is quite difficult to believe it's actually happened because it happened so quickly. That last kilometer where he actually accelerated and came through on his own was just superhuman. I can't believe he did it. I can't believe he ran the first half marathon in less than an hour and then he had to do that again."

Five-time Olympian Bernard Lagat said: "Eliud told the world that if you set your mind to something nothing is impossible. This is a special day today. Looking at the 1:59:40 time I got so emotional. He worked so hard for it and inspired us. It is something special, really special. The crowd was insane, I've never experienced anything like it, they were 100 percent into it. Eliud proved no human was limited and he did it."

Pacemaker Lopez Lomong said: "It means the world to me. Eliud said we needed to be able to come to the moon and back and we did today. This was a momentous day. The whole world will be watching with many people putting their shoes on thinking about breaking two hours.
