          If they're clean, they might not even hit 2:03, let alone a sub-2:00. Well, imo anyway. Which is worth about nothin'. Big grin

          How about let some fast guys dope all they want and see if it can be done?

            Hahaha. This is a stunt, after all, not a competition, so why not?

                I can't get this to work.

                 

                Problems with RWOL? That seems odd.

                    4:36 pace.  I can't run a 40 yard dash at 4:36 pace.

                      That was closer than I expected for that first attempt.

                            So is this still a win for Nike?  Should I buy Nike stock first thing Monday?

                              Apparently, Eliud Kipchoge's time was a 2 minute and 40 second PR. At 2:06:51, Zersenay Tadese ran a PR of 3:50. While Lelisa Desisa's 2:14:10, was well off his PR of 2:04:45.*
