Following the Nike project to enable atheletes run the marathon under 2hrs has been exciting. The race took place today in Italy as the conditions there met the requirements.

CONGRATS!! Eliud Kipchoge finishes the #breaking2 marathon in 2:00:25. He didn't break 2 hours, but he made running history today!

BBI will solve it

Very true. This is the best Nike advertisement ever!
I hope Eliud made good money too. It's also good that he did not break the record because there's definitely a round 2 coming up.

This was fantastic and its the new way of advertising where it establishes a social connection - if any one has seen the latest Heineken advert. Eliud was well paid - he was compensated to sit out the London, Berlin and NY Marathon, he had been preparing for 9 months.

Wilson Kipsang is lined up next to learn sub-2 by Addidas, however Addidas want to do this in an actual marathon. This will be interesting..

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

I liked the Heineken one. They took the pepsi failed ad and made made it better.
So I see Eliud in that case must have made some very good cash.

Yaani Adidas are shamelessly stealing Nike's idea???Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

Bekele is also involved in the adidas project .I can't even begin to imagine the pressure after that performance by kipchoge anything less and Nike has the better shoe.

Kipchoge should now go for the "legitimate" world record lows of 2:01 should cement his GOAT status.
