“In every race there is a crucial moment when the body wants to quit. Then it needs imagination and mental tenacity to survive the crisis. Otherwise the penalty is defeat.”
Sort of funny, on a good week I will get maybe 200-230 hits in a week on a post but write about shoes and I get 500+ in a day. I guess we all have a Tenuous Relationship With Our Running Shoes
So what do you think; could someone run sub 2 Hours for the marathon on a treadmill - Ryan Hall thinks so. I tend to agree but it will take someone who trains on one as I find treadmills often harder to run on but I run on them very seldom.
Speaking of a Sub-2 hour marathon Nike's Sub-2 Hour Marathon project led to a 1/2 marathon trial with 2 out of the three Sub-2 Prospects running under an hour.
Nike also unveils a new shoe, actually 3 shoes one for each of the guys looking to break 2 hours. This all said the IAAF is now going to look into shoes that may add too much spring. Nike says their shoes meet the rules but the IAAF wants to make sure I guess. With all the pushing of boundaries with PEDs I guess why not check this area as well.
