Worth noting that four of the top five in today's London Marathon -- including the first two men in history under two hours -- were wearing adidas' new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3.

Both were wearing a super-light, 3.4-ounce shoe that has yet to be released. Adidas' head of running told me how they made it:https://t.co/yB2jGnHTGE
For other marathoning nerds – Maurten shared Jacob Kiplimo's fueling strategy for his 2:00:28 at the London Marathon (No. 3 all-time and also under the previous world record) with me and I think it's a little different.

We've seen both Swiatek and Cilic have to either retire or give a walkover due to illness, hopefully no more.
("Mutua Madrid Open misery: Coco Gauff is latest to get sick")(sounds like they're just guessing it was food poisoning)Add another player to the list of illnesses due to the shrimp tacos that we learned late last night was the culprit behind these withdrawls

Samsonova, Keys, Cilic, and Swiatek the list of withdrawls due to illness now. https://t.co/uqVUxZRMIT
