The response to this has been pretty absurd IMO. From what I’ve seen, those in the professional running community/distance fans have been like “this is super cool, what a beast”. While the people who completed their 1 Chicago Marathon in 4:45 or killjoy nerds like Rovell have poo poo-d the accomplishment and breathlessly cataloged his advantages. Nobody has tried to claim it as a WR and clearly it wasn’t an official race, but jeez. If Usain Bolt ran a wind aided 9.35 100M, they would be like “NOT LEGIT” instead of “my god that’s foolishly fast”
