Keyan Marathon Record Runners are Frauds.

Without the shoes he is 5 minutes slower.

Both of them used these new shoes.

Nike will make loads of money when they go on sale to the public =.

Good for them. He now holds the record for the only person to finish in under 2 hours (Guinness). From what I read it doesn't actually count as a real record because it wasn't an open competition. I've also read that he already owns the record for the fastest marathon time. So if anything he is just doing better than he previously did. He already owns the record.

But the improvement is not him it the shoe.

And it makes a huge difference.

As mentioned this happened with swimming as well and they banned the suits.

They should ban these shoes and erased these records.

I would definitely look into the shoe, the fact that she finished 4 minutes faster this year, than in the same course last year should raise an eyebrow.

Or maybe she could just be getting better, she did drop 9 minutes in the Honolulu run from one year to the next.

IAAF to Investigate Nike's ZoomX Vaporfly Following Multiple Broken Records

Nike unveiled its ZoomX Vaporfly earlier this year with an accompanying marketing campaign that called the shoe “a racing shoe that breaks records.” As it turns out, the campaign may not just be a marketing ploy after all. Professional runners are actually breaking records in the shoes quite frequently, which has sparked a controversial debate amongst the running community.

The Vaporfly range originally made headlines for its inclusion of a full-length carbon fiber plate embedded in its foam midsole, which was put in place to increase propulsion. The more recent ZoomX Vaporfly Next% kept the carbon fiber plate in place, as well as added a more breathable material, extra foam, redesigned track pattern and a foam pod for Achilles support. The pair retails for around $250 USD.

According to The Times, since the Vaporfly’s initial launch back in 2016, “Dennis Kimetto’s 2014 world record of 2:2:57 has been bettered on five occasions, each time by an athlete wearing the shoe.” In addition, Eliud Kipchoge wore a special prototype of the Vaporfly when he became the first person to run a sub-two-hour marathon, and so did Brigid Kosgei when she broke the women’s world record the next day.

A group of elite athletes have complained to the IAAF that Nike’s state-of-the-art marathon shoe gives an unfair advantage to runners, The Times can reveal.

Brigid Kosgei set an astonishing new women’s world record for the distance in a racing shoe called the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% on Sunday in Chicago, crossing the line in 2hr 14min 4sec to take 81 seconds off the time set by Paula Radcliffe in London 16 years ago.

The Vaporfly trainer could already lay claim to the five fastest official men’s marathon times, before a special prototype of the shoe was used by Eliud Kipchoge, the world-record holder, to break the two-hour barrier in an unofficial event in Vienna on Saturday.

The men's record has been beating 5 times recently all with these shoes
