Just watched this doc on Nike and science working with elite runners to try and break the 2 hour marathon time. Just incredible:

I followed this attempt when was made. this guy is made to run a marathon. He won all but one big marathon he ran, I think 9 out of 10 or something like that... (the only time he was second the first guy ran the world record!!!). Simply impressive. He keeps track of the time every 500 meters (of a marathon!!!) and runs faster than most of us can run 400 meters...

but I agree, it makes you want to go!

Yes these athletes operate at another level. Eliud may be the greatest runner ever as they say in the doc. I couldn’t believe the HM elite runner that never drank water!

Not what you're looking for?
