We share our exclusive access to the event, including a surreal pre-race walk on the track and a behind-the-scenes look at the Innovation Day showcasing the speed suit, spikes, and printed sports bra designed specifically for this attempt (13:45). \nWe discuss Kipyegon’s lap-by-lap pacing breakdown (24:00), debate whether the technology helped or hindered (34:15), and explore the psychological dynamics of racing without competition (46:00). \nWe also break down Kipchoge’s mesmerizing talk about the power of belief (18:00). Finally, we dig into the press conference, what comes next for Nike and Faith, and whether this was a brilliant step forward or an expensive misfire (58:00). Plus, our predictions on when and how the sub-4 barrier will finally fall (1:10:00).\nOver 240,000 runners read our newsletter.
