My goal is simple. Help Eliud Kipchoge break the 2 hour marathon barrier.
No human in recorded history has ever run 42.195 km in under 2 hrs. To support Eliud in achieving this milestone, we have to consider everything. Everything matters. From a high performance perspective, that is both terrifying and exhilarating!
The 1:59 Challenge has allowed me to work with a team of remarkable people in support of a once-in-a-lifetime athlete and his attempt to achieve something that is truly historical.
