Hey we all wish it wasn't so but how many people buying Saucony (or Brooks, or.......) run shoes can tell you how far a marathon is?
They all know how far a marathon is because they're all telling each other how they're rock stars because they trudge through a long run every weekend and post it on social media.
What they don't know is how the top runners are and that is the dilemma track and field has to overcome to be more popular.
Every guy who barely breaks 100 knows the top golfers (and watches them on TV).
