The Australian Runner #21: Breaking2

May 10, 2017

Nike's attempt to break the 2 hour marathon, dubbed "Breaking2" fell tantalisingly short of the goal with Eluid Kipchoge posting a time of 2:00:25. This week we discuss how Nike tried to help the runners to post this unofficial world record and how try to predict how soon someone will finally break 2 hours. As always, we cap off the episode with the week's running and athletics news.
