186 A Marathon to Enter History 7

By the time Jake passed the 40 km and everyone could see that he had over energy it was almost certain that he would be the winner in the end, even though the runner up was over 4 minutes behind him.

Jake, who had always kept the same pace from 1 km in 3 minutes decided to slow down to 1 km in 4 minutes at the end of the race, after all, Jake didn't mind breaking records in his first marathon.

He just wanted to win in the end, otherwise, he could eat a stamina bar and run under 2 hours and beat the considered limit for the marathon runners, so he did differently from the other marathon runners who increased the pace at the end of the marathon.

Whoever was watching didn't realize that Jake could control his running pace and thought he was getting tired at the end, so all the spectators who were present at the marathon site in the last kilometers of the race began to applaud Jake to encourage him to finish the race first.
