About this episode

The episode discusses the historic sub-2-hour marathon run by Sebastian Sawe and the implications for the sport and footwear.

On Sunday, the sport of running and the art of marathoning was forever changed as Sebastian Sawe ran the first-ever official sub-2-hour marathon. He wasn't the only one to do it, of course, and they both ran in the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3, the lightest race day shoe ever at 99 grams. We give our thoughts on the race and the past and future of footwear, as well as plenty of other running (and non-running discussion). SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
