I like Kevin Hart's participation. he's funny. we could use someone like him for majors.

He's actually sponsored by Nike. has his own shoe, does lots of Nike-sponsored 5k community event.s

this is pretty cool. different look to the marathon. it's like a scientific experiment.

Maybe theyre arm coolers. The tri dudes use them.

Desisa seems to struggle a little bit already. This does not look very good.

Honestly, he looks disinterested and bored, maybe sleepy, more than struggling.

And is he drinking from a baby bottle?!! That would explain the sleepy...

Pacer switch at 30:20, big white guys back in there.

Did I just miss Benie or is he not pacing?

This stream is absolute GARBAGE.

It continues to BAFFLE me how a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATE CONGLOMERATE has the stream equivalent of a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

Sub 2:00 marathon is joke. Eliud Kipchoge will crash and fail. Only way to run marathon is to run barefoot. Running for fame is shame, only reason to run is for purity and blessing. Eliud stay second best in Kaptagat and second best in world.

Literally what are you talking about? This is actually the best stream I have ever watched and it's not even close.

It's a couple of different white guys (there was only one earlier), and one of them isn't that big.

OK I admit that I was a little skeptical at first but this is awesome!

I thought it was going to be boring, but it is super exciting - to imagine how fast, and how far these guys are running, incredible.

It is also amazing to think how much effort Nike has put into this. Considering every variable, isn't that just so cool?

The planning, the science, the imagination, the will. It is excellent.

Even the TV coverage is really well thought out, and entertaining. I hope Adidas follows with something similarly awesome.

Hydration zone is only like for 300m after the start line?

Will Rupp have pacing duties later in the time trial?

Who are the pacers? I'm curious of their race speed, background, how they were chosen. Haven't seen anything of this?

I love the ebikes

Desisa already dropping off, smh.
