By overhyped you mean appears on flotrack frequently. I'm pretty sure he's not famous anywhere else and Flotrack is still pretty small potatoes in the real world. Based on other pages on Flotrack, Saucony is one of the sponsers or main advertiser for the site. How do you think he pays for all this stuff and makes a living. Don't knock someone trying to grow this sport and create an audience for some of its personalities.

is it just me or is this guy just WAY over hyped? i mean come on, and the saucony advertisements all over, im sure mark gets paid pretty good by saucony to do this thing. Seriously this guy has run one good race in his life, 2:14 at the trials. Who knows if he will ever come close to that...what has he done since then?

Hefty? 4 years ago

If running at 80% of your body weight drops 30 pounds, then you weight ~150. 150lbs is not hefty.

I agree with the others, why is vid on here? Someone should've chased down Tim Nelson after his breakthrough race for an interview or something. What a waste. C'mon now

Mike Lansing....is it true that you used to eat 10,000 calories of Ghiradelli Brownies, in one sitting, while they were still too hot to eat? Like magma hot?

What's the most weight you can take off? Could you take off like 90% and run a 3:00 mile?

Not sure if this counts as an actual sub-4 mile. Great effort and pretty impressive but still not part of the sub-4 club.

This thing should find its way into every training room, imagine the implications for injured athletes!

Yes, it'll help the injured runner, and if you're not injured, you will be after trying to be like Nate and run a sub-4.

What a great tool... 4 years ago

the guy is obviously a marathoner, its not like hes trying to run a qualifying mile time for any meet. i don't understand what all the hate is for, just having some fun.

Enjoy yourself for once. 4 years ago

Just watch the dang video and be glad you saw something you wouldn't have otherwise seen today. I thought this video was fascinating. Criticism is good but being negative just because you don't feel good at the moment is silly.
