At least they have picture-in-picture

$20 says they're going to miss something big like someone dropping out because they skipped to a Nike propaganda ad.

My major complaint is there is no distance on the screen. And no projected pace. How do we know what the pace is? Is the green line the 1:59:59 pace. WHat happens when they fall off.

My biggest question is - who the hell is measuring this. How do we know the course hasn't been rigged? I sure hope someone from the IAAF and rival shoe companies are there.

Yeah, seems it would be easy enough to do to show the distance...

I REALLY don't like how they aren't giving us splits. Are we just supposed to assume they are on 4:34 pace? And believe that line.

Now I get how my parents felt when they were watching us land on the moon.

This whole production is more interesting than another standard major marathon race. And it only takes one real contender out of a spring race. So I'm enjoying it and excited to watch this play out.

HAHAHA YEAH BRO NIKE PROPOAGANDA ON A NIKE SPONSORED EVENT AMIRIGHT GUYS.

No numbers showing their pace. But I guess the laser represents hitting the pace. As long as they stay with that, they're on pace. Right?

Are they running the line? Seems like the 3 are a bit outside it.

They were around 4:32ish for that first mile, I could see what looked like a marker off to the side

Kipchoge looks good. Tadese and Desisa already look like their dying 4k in.

Why would nike water down this event by having Kevin Hart be one of the commentators?

I know this is an experiment, but running is a serious platform, so all the announcers need to have a SERIOUS running background.

Anyway, I'm predicting a 2:01-2:02 marathon time.

they're gonna flash these lights in their eyes every lap?

Distance flashes underneath the clock every so often

Also what's up with those neon lights they keep passing

He got the lone red shirt. I wonder if the other two feel like entourage.

You continue to surprise me, Rojo believes the moon landing was faked?

First thing I see is that they aren't sitting right on the car itself. That makes it significantly harder.

Well, this is boring as shit.

looks like they have distance showing on the back of the car
