It’s a solid idea really, something etching that you’d think would be more sought after, big deal in cycling I think? Well below half marathon record pace though
Big difference between track and road I’d assume? Although I’d assume track would be quicker. Running 53 odd laps of a track would be a mind numbing though. Torturous almost
You’d have to think distance runners doing 110 miles a week are immune to mind numbing. The one hour record is something that you could see gaining traction, you can be sure that this won’t last for too long anyway.
