Breaking2

Breaking2 was a Nike-led project aimed at breaking the two-hour barrier in a marathon, considered a significant milestone in long-distance running. In 2017, elite runners equipped with advanced gear and running on a specially designed course in Italy attempted to complete 26.2 miles in under two hours. Although they didn't officially beat the record, they came very close, demonstrating that with innovative technology, optimal training, and supportive conditions, such a remarkable performance is possible. The project highlighted advancements in sports science and engineering, pushing the boundaries of human endurance.
