We saw history unfold over the weekend regarding this Kenyan superstar breaking the two-hour barrier.

How incredible was that feat?

And in regards to the actual record, so it was on Sunday, London time, and the 31-year-old beat the marathon world record by a whopping 65 seconds.

How incredible is that?

That 65 seconds is a huge time.

And you actually wrote a fantastic paper almost 30 years ago, from what I understand, saying that this barrier could be broken.

Explain that for us.

And in regards to how things have changed over the decades, you mentioned before, you know, you wrote this article more than 30 years ago.

Yeah.

To what degree do you believe modern technology, especially with exercise equipment and shoes, like the shoes today are next level.

To what degree do you think this equipment has helped break down those barriers and people being able to achieve those world records?

So for the future, if we can possibly predict what may happen next, this incredible record was broken.

So what do you think the future actually holds?

Because in the middle of all of this, we actually saw robots running a marathon and they were able to beat the human record.

So what do you think the future may hold for marathons, Mike?

Yeah, it's a great question.

Mike, I'm glad you've mentioned that because you are a marathon runner yourself.

Take us through, the majority of us, including myself, who isn't a marathon runner, take us through, you mentioned there before that humans have the soul and the ability to not only pass through the physical barrier, but most importantly, the mental barrier of being a marathon runner.

It is extraordinary.

We really appreciate your insight.
