We all remember Nike’s Breaking2 project, when Eliud Kipchoge came within 25 seconds of breaking the elusive two-hour mark in the marathon.

The good news for everyday runners is that these physiological factors-like running economy and lactate threshold-are very malleable with consistent training.

These physiological advantages are likely to have been optimized by genetic predisposition and long-term training.

Elite runners can take in oxygen twice as fast at marathon pace as a “normal” runner could while sprinting at their max effort.

New research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology aimed to understand what physiological demands are needed to run a two-hour marathon.
