Olympic athletes, etc. However, watching this guy who broke the 2 hour marathon barrier in London and seeing how fast he was running…holy. It may be the most impressive. These guys are machines. It is crazy that they can run that fast for that long and not be dead. Also 2 other fun nuggets (for me at least): 1) Adidas gets the official record breaker after a huge Nike campaign with another guy. 2) Adidas has spent over $50k getting this guy drug tested at various races leading up to London to remove all doubt. These last two nuggets from Rovell, so retracted if they aren’t accurate.
