If you're interested in watching the Nike Sub-2 Hour Marathon Attempt at the Formula 1 track in Monza, Italy, this Friday, it will be streamed live at Nike's Facebook page, Runners World, and LetsRun.com at 11:45 p.m. Eastern/8:45 p.m. Pacific. There is likely going to be some pre-race build up, so log in early if you want to check it out.
Eliud Kipchoge, Zersenay Tadese and Lelisa Desisa cruising along at a 4:34 min/mile pace in the strangest (and possibly illegal) shoes ever....even if it fails, gotta say, it's some wicked good PR. ;-)
Ain't no way this happens – unless it does! :) What the sport doesn't need is a 2:01:23 marathon in a manufactured setting like this. That said, I can't wait for the fun to start. If your readers are interested Scott, we've broken down why Nike's sub-2 experiment may and may not succeed over on RaceRaves: https://raceraves.com/nike-sub-2-marathon-yes-or-no/
