The majority of people in the world cannot complete a half marathon, let alone under two hours. I was pleased to train enough that I managed under three. You're doing great!

A majority of people won't run 1 km without needing a rest afterwards.
There were recent tests (in France I think) in schools where 50% or something could not run 1 km (sorry I don't have the details on mobile). These are children who have infinity energy (source: parent).
A typical adult won't make it to 1km (source: going back to sport and dying on a 2.5 km run)
Sub 3 is incredible, congrats!
half marathon is ~20 KM its pretty sad that a large percentage of people cant do that. One can simply walk that much distance wihtout any prior training.
I am sure the poster meant running. Of course people can walk. That's not much of an achievement, unless you're geriatric.
You can walk it in under 4 hours. I can do it, but I can't run that much, my calves are just not trained for aerobic workloads. I don't run normally, I walk or cycle, but do not run.
