On Saturday, October 12, 2019, Eliud Kipchoge became the first person ever to run a marathon in under two hours, a staggering achievement in athletics and human performance. Dr. Michael Joyner, an exercise physiologist at the Mayo Clinic, first predicted it might be possible in a paper he wrote in 1991. WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez has been following Kipchoge's attempts for years, and spoke with Joyner about how Kipchoge finally made it happen.

Robbie sucks a bit. He talked about shoes for the whole 13 minutes, and forgets the number of athletes who were tested before breaking bad, his diet his training - until minute 12.

They're saying the shoes are controversial among the fastest of marathon runners. If only a couple runners are allowed to wear those proprietary Nike shoes, then they will have an unfair advantage, just like the swimmers did wearing Speedo's LZR Racer. Shoes absolutely make a difference (try running a marathon in dress shoes) and every runner knows that. The solution to this would be to only allow shoes that are available to every runner, particularly to the runners who matters. Like you said, no one cares about the people running 3hr marathons because the shoes won't create enough of an edge to matter.

Tons of media outlets have described them as controversial, but I haven't really seen any experts question it. I agree that they're special and that you have to take that into account when you think about the incredible times of runners since -17. But really you can't argue that the technology is that advanced, it's just a plate. Of course there's a limit to what i think is acceptable though. Anything that involves something mechanical or electrical is out of question for me.

With his peak physical capabilities he probably only paces himself because his muscles will give out before he feels any pain or burning. Without that pain he can smile, talk, and walk around without a problem. Also if he stops to rest after that run he’ll drop to the ground with cramps even in his arms and won’t be able to get back up for a few hours.

The reason people talk about those things is because with the normal ruleset it is extremely doubtful that he will ever be able to break 2 hours. He is not a sub 2 hour runner if he can only do it on 1 track, with 1 certain pair of shoes and 1 (against the rules) style of pace runners.

Way better breakdown than any other convential news source I've seen. Short of going super in-depth on the data and race statistics, this is how it should be done.

“Oh my god...he was assisted!” “This doesn’t count!” “He cheated!” -Everyone on this comment thread who will never come close to a feat like this but is quick to tear him down because hiding behind the internet has no repercussions.

East End Dayton oh I’m sure you could within a month of training max. You’d only need to go half the average speed for Tour de France riders. Except their average includes everything; flats, uphills, and downhills. Not to mention they’ll maintain this average over 2000 miles in just 21 days.

@vimalalwaysrocks 4 года назад

Even in 2017's race after failing to break the 2 hour mark, Eliud Kipchoge never let hope and did say that its not impossible and either me or someone would break that mark.. The man has incredible confidence & perseverance!

@soulhound 4 года назад

I've seen the documentary where he tried the 2 hour barrier and barely failed, and it was a HUGE success for me already. So happy to hear that he got the 2 hour mark. I also give kudos to the other players who were training with Mr Kipchoge (forgot their names though), too. No matter the technology, the athletes are the source of the inspirations.

@Fate025 4 года назад

10:37 He just finished a full marathon in under 2 hours and still has plenty of energy to run around celebrating. Describing Kipchoge as simply a “superior athlete” is quite a gross understatement, he’s one of the top athletes of all time.

Your comment needs to be the top comment.

@jambyappa6508 4 года назад

Fr. I feel like wired is trying to discredit the man by focusing on the “controversial” things. Just leave it at the fact that he made history the end. They just salty he proved them wrong with Wired’s video titled “why it’s almost impossible to run a 2 hour marathon”

@aok9153 4 года назад

In their "why its almost impossible to run a 2 hour marathon" they even said how the shoes dont make a difference The man ran and won a marathon with his shoes barely on in 2015

@2010Bangie 4 года назад

I think every “expert” is trying to analyze this forgetting how many athletes were tried for this, before even Breaking 2. Looking forward to seeing who does it next

@Samm-cn2yh 4 года назад

True. Its not like the shoes are attached with motors or wings. The man still has to generate all the speed. The dumbass guy on the interview must just be jealous.

@JonnyLee 4 года назад

Just to try and put things into perspective, most people in this comment section can't run at this pace for 100 feet, let alone 100m or a kilometer. I ran a sub 2 hour half marathon a couple weeks ago and wanted to try to run at this pace and see how long I could last... I was struggling just to get up to that speed at all.

@jameshilton6397 4 года назад

@janiecechan2078 4 года назад

@aok9153 4 года назад

Try sprinting for 2 hours Most people can barely last 1 minute at that speed

@plutobaby9996 4 года назад

Kipchoge is the epitome of distance running

@runcaz7802 4 года назад

That last line..."This may happen in an open marathon sooner than people think" I would agree with that.

@harvestcrops3983 4 года назад

“How he did it in two hours” I’m assuming he just ran fast than most.

he runs 5 marathons per week at above 2000 meters above sea level. Running 1 marathon at sea level is nothing to him.

Marathoners - like swimmers - don’t get enough credit for how difficult their sport is. Their so physically & mentally strong that they make it look easy; because most people can run (& swim), they don’t realize how fast the athletes are moving or (when you reach Olympic/professional level) how intricate the sport is & the strategy needed to win. It’s an incredible thing to be able to watch & appreciate athletes like these.
