Triathletes have been wearing arm sleeves for years in hot weather. The idea is to keep the arms cooler through increased moisture wicking...they also have sunblock on them, and provide mild compression. The sleeves don't seem to be as ubiquitous as they were a few years ago. For races like the real Ironman in Hawaii, many of the pros will wear them just for the sun protection since you're on the course for roughly 9 hours.
Any studies done on performance benefits? Could they cut maybe a couple seconds off per mile? ? That would shave off about ~52 seconds over the course of a marathon - a real game changer at the top elite level. ?
And this Muppet is why he wears them. Maybe he thinks likewise but he also wore wrong colour vest for heat.
Kipchoge wore white plus no hobbyjogger/sprinter/Tri arm whatever they are.
In winter just wear long sleeved t shirt. Best and arm warmers leaving shoulders cold idiotic.
If he'd too those sunglasses off height have not been juggling water bottles. Any shadow and he's going to be seeing nothing wearing those.
Still he did lots wrong and still got 3rd in stellar field and good time in heat
,70 is measured in shade. He was in the sun do you lot know anything. Its going to feel like 80.
Take off 1-2 mins for 1st 3
