BOSTON -- Kenya's Geoffrey Mutai has won the Boston Marathon in 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds -- the fastest anyone has ever run the 26.2 mile distance.

The previous best of 2:03:59 was by Haile Gebrselassie in Berlin 2008. Because Monday's race had a strong tailwind on a downhill course, Mutai's run does not qualify as the fastest time ever.

On the ESPN comments section, someone said that's a 4:41 average mile...

even with the tailwind, just consistently running a 4:40 pace is insane.
I can barely get under 6:30 if i were to go and run right now.
