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.

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.

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”

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

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

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.

I've been waiting for this video!!!

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!

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.

Idgaf. This literally counts for world record setting so it COUNTS. Amazing 🙏👌👌

Great interview, very good questions.

Very interesting! Thanks, Robbie & Michael!

“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.

I feel lucky, in the future, to be able to remember this time when the 2 hour barrier was broken.

Kipchoge is the epitome of distance running

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

Great inspiration.

I get goosebumps every single time I watch Eliud kipchoge run!

This sub 2 hr record was inspirational, to say the least. I foresee great new records in sports to burst out in the next few years.

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.

If I could finish this in 2 days I would be proud

Thanks for this. I was searching for WIRED's coverage of this yesterday and finally it's here.

This man accomplished something that was, until now, considered humanely impossible

Tell me why after he was done it looked like he could run for much longer 🏃🏿‍♂️💨

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

why its almost impossible to tell where this guys is looking

What a marvelous man. King of the marathon Kipchoge

He doesn't look tired.This is a superhuman

Moral of the story don’t limit others based on what you can and can’t do
