So you have an asterisks next to the name...this isn't even worthy of an asterisk...

Even if they don't, they're pushing the limits which is always cool to me. I think Kipchoge will beat the WR (which is pointless in this setting) but not quite get the sub2.

Maybe worthy of an asterisk, but obviously not a wr. I'm surprised they'd spend so much, and not try and break it at Berlin or something. If they're that confident in the athletes and the 4% shoe they should be able to do it in a traditional setting.
The way this is set up it might as well be on a treadmill.

Almost got it. Pretty incredible nonetheless. After watching I'm pumped for my 10 miler tomorrow!

That was unlucky. Less than a second/mile. incredible run, but it's a shame Kevin hart was there. He took a away from the viewing experience.

I used to be a wear-tester for Nike. I got to test their original "phylon" soul. That shoe in the article looks like it has the same stuff in it (I don't have access to the full article, so I don't know what's in the new shoes). I loved the original phylon. I ran my fastest marathon in it.

It's crazy that Kipchoge was still on pace to break 2 hours through 1:40. He's a beast. Very humble too.

And looked pretty comfortable the entire time. Really was an insane effort.
