In 2 hours and 25 seconds, the timer on the finish line was fixed at this time - just today, 32-year-old Kenyan athlete Eliud Kipchoge completed the 42 km full marathon with this result.
Three players participated in this competition: Eliud Kipchoge, Lelisa Desisa and Zersenay Tadese. Their goals It is to break through the marathon's 2-hour mark. The athletes need to reduce the existing marathon world record by 2 hours, 2 minutes and 57 seconds by about 3%, which means that in the entire course of 42.195 kilometers, it takes about 4.3 seconds per km, which is almost one kilometer faster than the world record. distance. During running, the athlete must maintain a uniform speed of 5.86 m/s as much as possible so that there will be no unnecessary energy consumption.
The difference from the ordinary marathon is that this game defines many conditions, such as a special competition venue in Italy, Monza F1 race track, match time, a special layout of the pace strategy, and the event sponsor Nike special for athletes A new marathon shoe developed.
The game officially started at 5:45 am local time on May 6 (11:45 pm Beijing time). Fifteen minutes later, the weather just started to shine - most of the marathons took place at or after 9am, but Breaking 2 was advanced by more than three hours, in order to match the air temperature and humidity that existed in the morning.
In the first phase of the game, everything went according to plan. In order to achieve the ultimate goal, Nike uses a variety of means to maintain Breaking2's pace and control the athlete's energy loss and supply, just as if debugging a car.
First of all, during the race, a Tesla Model S “leads†6 meters ahead of the athlete and the speed keeper, shows the current pace, current time and expected finish time, and shoots guidance on the ground behind. Formation laser. “This is very common for road running, except that Breaking2’s leading sports car will prompt every 200 meters, while other games are reminded every 1 km or 5 kilometers.†Nike Sports Research Laboratory Researcher and Chief Physiology Dr. Brett Kirby said.
At the same time, a team of 30 speed builders assisted the three athletes in maintaining the pace of Breaking2 and formed a windshield. The entire "windbreak formation" is like an arrow behind the aerodynamic model. Each speed pacer will complete 2 laps, after which a three-man replacement will be performed.
A supply station was set up in the middle of the track. Scientists prepared a whole row of supply bottles containing different proportions of sugar, supplements, and caffeine for every athlete at two o'clock in the morning. Every time they ran, the motorcycle handed them a hand. Supply bottle is submitted to the athlete. "Some are high in sugar, some are different types of sugar, or a combination of sugar and caffeine." Kirby explained. Due to the different performances of the players, the time they received for replenishment was different in the second half of the game.
In 28 minutes and 21 seconds, the team ran to 10 kilometers. This is 5 seconds faster than the scheduled time, and it is also the fastest 10 km reach time for the marathon so far.
Then there are 42 minutes 34 seconds, 15 kilometers - 56 minutes 49 seconds, 20 kilometers - 1 hour 25 minutes 20 seconds, 30 kilometers - 1 hour 39 minutes 37, 35 kilometers -
At 20 km, only Kipchoge was able to keep pace with Breaking2. Regardless of the performance of the athletes, the six pacers of the first team will not slow down. Finally, the time spanned two hours at Kipchoge approximately 300 meters from the finish line.
After three years of preparation, Nike broke the Marathon 2-hour record of the Breaking2 plan to a very close figure. We have previously reported on this “race†with various conditions. It is believed to reveal Nike’s ambition to try to build influence in the marathon field.
Currently, the marathon world record still stands at 2 hours, 2 minutes and 57 seconds. It was created by Kenyan athlete Dennis Kimetto at the 2014 Berlin Marathon. This achievement will continue to be an officially recognized world record because, for various reasons mentioned above, today's performance of the marathon held on the F1 race track in Monza, Italy, will not be recognized by the IAAF.
Despite this, Nike has proudly described how they "highly optimized" and carefully arranged the game, which is like Google let Deep Mind defeat Li Shishi in the eyes of the public and global media coverage - May 6, is also A meaningful date, 63 years ago today, Roger Bannister became the first person to run for 4 minutes in a 1 mile race. Immediately after him, there was a record of more breaking 4 minutes. According to Nike, Breaking2 should also provide a similar spiritual incentive.
"It's only 25 seconds." Kipchoge said after the game's award ceremony, "The next time people only have to break 25 seconds."
