• Marathon under 2 hours

    Did anyone else read about Nike's attempt to have
    someone break the 2hour wall for the Marathon?

    Anyone care to discuss?

    I fear there's only me and thee lurking here. ;-)

    I didn't see it but would acknowledge that it was an amazing achievement,
    but, bears little relationship to road race times. The presence of pacers
    and a car (with a *massive* clock) providing a bit of a windbreak for the
    whole run just shows how hard Nike expected it to be.

    Consequently it revealed zero about what influence Nike shoes had to the
    time.

    And they still failed, though they came close.
