How can profesional runners accept this?
Running 3 minutes faster the the WR?
It's like asking someone to shave off 42 seconds of Bekele's 26:17 WR. A runner like Kipchoge that runs 2:03 can't just shave 3 minutes off his time.
I have to say, kipchoge was good for 2:02:30 this year.

There's no possible way to do this at this point in history, with these runners, on any course that isn't a crazy downhill, or without a truck following them with a propeller fan blasting, or a sequence of track stars jumping in every mile or so, or a 4 mile loop with gentle corners prepared with the best track surface ever and a wind breaker treatment surrounding it.
Then again, it is Nike going for this, before an Adidas race pushed the record closer to 2:01.
They'll back out the day before, though, claiming weather or something.
And also, it IS Nike:

I'm not sure what Nike are trying to achieve with this. I'm no marketer but throwing all your "tech" at something and failing miserably can't be a good look, surely?
Like Mo's first Marathon? People forgot that failure very quickly.
Mo didn't fail his 1st Marathon , why don't u go n run 2:8 , u piece of shit

Call it "Breaking58" and then when they do break it come out with a shoe called the "Nike 57 Special"
More likely to break the 58 minute barrier and do it legitimately at the same time. If 58 doesn't get broken then a WR most likely could be set legitimately without a downhill point to point course or whatever.
Just my thoughts
Completely agree with this. They should try to break 58 for the half instead
Nobody cares about the half marathon - let alone the 58 minute barrier.

2:08 is a failure. That's a jog for us letsrunners. Any of us could easily run a sub 2 hour marathon if we weren't so busy banging supermodels on our yachts.

It was a massive British failure in front of the entire world by my Mo.
I yelled at MoNo a lot that night.

Not another thread that has descending into a fking bitching match about Mo Farah. Grow the fck up especially you rjm
Mo literally has a faster PR than one of the guys picked on the Nike team

The marathon is too long. It's meant for people with LOW TESTOSTERONE. That's why the population masses like or care about it. Because they have low T
