Amby Burfoot has had it with Boston being blacklisted from the record books — and he's got the data to back it up in one simple fix.
On the podcast this week, we're joined by Endure author Alex Hutchinson to dig into Sebastian Sawe's 1:59:30 in London, the training and fueling that made it possible, and the role the latest super shoes might be playing in performances like this one.
Plus in the news: where the marathon goes from here after sub-2, a first look at the Adidas Adios Pro Evo 3 that carried Sawe to the record, and the latest on the sport's ongoing fight for clean running.
1:59:30. A 60-minute warm-up. A 59-minute half-marathon attack. A mile 24 in 4:12. Sebastian Sawe didn't just break two hours — he might have broken the marathon as we knew it.
Alex Hutchinson joins Michael Doyle, Katelyn Tocci, and Alex Cyr to figure out what just happened, why it happened now, and what we can actually learn from it.
The four-time Olympic champion joined everyday runners at the spot where the race usually breaks people, as part of a mental health partnership with Buxton and the charity Mind.
Sabastian Sawe just ran 1:59:30 in London. We thought this barrier might never come, or might come once a generation. Now that it's gone, the real questions are bigger: where does this sport actually go from here?
