Nike has no respect for runners. Suggest 35:52 min 10k is a great time winning for a man

How do you know it was a 10K? Maybe it was the less popular 15K. Pretty good time there.

Anyway, none of the other images are really "dynamic" athletes, they are just every day people who can do some cool stuff. Despite what people say around here, running a 35 10K is kinda cool to most people.

OMG, I just busted out laughing hysterically! This is why I love letsrun...check out the link...the OP is absolutely dead on with his asessment.

youre right, the 0.01% who enjoy staring at blank screens will really love this.

12K for the guy and 10k for the girl. The costumed runner is just one of those attention seeking jerks who show up at races all the time.

Maybe?

I think the idea was that none of them were world class athletes.

She was obviously running the 5k...

I think you missed the point of the commercial bud...

As all the athletes were trying to one up each other, the girl runner "threwdown" an impressive 32min 10k and blew the doors off the male runner.

Lighten up little my friend...

You are retarded.

The 32 min 10k was impressive but how does the 35:52 10k fit in those scenes? It is by far the least impressive of all the athletes so that is what Nike thinks of male distance runners? Also how many 10ks can be won in 36?

Yup.

Buddy, this IS their market. People with dressed up like ants buy their crappy shoes with springs in the heels.

35-36min cant be that far off from winning a low key local race. 16-17min 5k wins low key local race.

also we have no idea whether thats a 10k or not.

the runner in the vid is a bit of a douche for looking at the camera being a showoff and not looking like he's really racing.

but really you letsrun people need to get your head out of your *sses as no one really cares - that 35min clock may not have been intentional

How do you know that it was a 10K and not a 12K, 8 miler, etc? All they show is a race and a guy finishing in 35:52.

The woman is Grace Padilla, Pete Magill's GF; don't think she's run 32 for 10k FWIW....

It's also kind of funny that you assume the male distance runner even won the race.

All the video shows is the guy raising his hands crossing the finish line, and 35:52. He certainly wasn't breaking any finish line tape.

Check out any RnR marathon and you can see the same thing from the men/women charging across the line, hands raised in celebration, for breaking that elusive 5 hour mark.

I liked the commercial.

wtf OP, it's a cool commercial and as other posters said the guy didn't even win.

I liked the wheelchair backflips and stunts on physioball. Gotta try that at the gym next time. Well 1) fitball stunts then 2) learn how to use wheelchair

Grace Padilla runs 16:20s and is close to 40, she points at the 'guy' who thinks he's hot shit in the previous clip as if to say 'what-up now, dog, 32 > 35?'

Danny MacAskill has a million bicycle stunts that are more impressive than the one that thye picked to show.

No, the least impressive are the women doing the line drill, the woman jumping rope, the first guy jumping on the exercise ball and the low level football players. The 35:52 might be right behind these, but the non elite rugby players and rollerball women aren't that impressive either.
