I struggle to believe some of the numbers in the article. It's claimed that the improvement in running economy offered by these shoes would translate to a 2.0% improvement in marathon time for a 2 hour runner. That means for Rory Linkletter, a Puma athlete, he could run 2:05-low in these shoes. Mahamed Mahamed, a British Puma athlete, has a 2:07 PB, which means he could run 2:04-low just because of the improvement in his shoes. I just don't buy it. Mahamed is running London next weekend so I guess we'll see. It's a fast course with a good field so it's setup well for him
Wait a couple of hours and we will know
