    Running that fast in Cliftons is indeed quite the accomplishment.

    It is NOT a fast shoe.

    I really wonder what the story is. It's not like he was living in a cave for the last 6 years. Yes. Clifton is very slow. It's not just the plate issue. It's the mush that sap energy.

    Unless it was the OG Cliftons. Those things were super springy out of the box. They were my go to tempo and longer racing shoes 10 years ago.

    Don't really understand the point. Might as well consider who was the fastest barefoot finisher.

    Darn, I wish we could go back to the 70s when I ran in a pair of Onitsuka Tigers (thin, glued on sole, no midsole cushioning), noon start and no aid stations. Now, that was real fun!

    I thought this was a cool find last spring. Now that we're heading back into marathon major season, anyone interested in highlighting the top Berlin/Chicago/NYC finisher in a non-plated shoe?

    Maybe I'll run NYC in some Pegasus just to be a Letsrun hero!

    I’d contend that every runner — everywhere and across time — has been assisted by carbon.
