Kenyan marathoner Sabastian Sawe, who ran the first sub-two-hour marathon in London, believes the world record can fall further and is targeting more history at future major races.

Sabastian Sawe, the first man to run the marathon in under two hours, believes even faster times are on the horizon both for him and the sport.
In April, the 31-year-old Kenyan clocked 1:59:30 in London, shattering the two-hour barrier many felt was untouchable.
"I know it's possible to run under 1:59," Sawe told AFP in an interview in Berlin, adding, "it is hard to predict how fast I will be, but (it's possible) if we've got nice weather, good pacing and I am in good shape".
Sawe said further records will fall as running's popularity skyrockets and technology improves.
"We don't know about the years in front of us because maybe other people will come along and do something great. There are no limits for now."
