After six months of scientifically advanced training, three of the world's most elite distance runners set out to break the two-hour marathon barrier. These pioneers go on a global trek to defy the unthinkable and break the two-hour feat, from testing in wind tunnels and running labs in the United States, to balancing training with their day-to- day lives in eastern Africa, to the final heart-pounding race in Italy.

Have you looked at improving individual performance/tweaking training plans? Versus more game theory of group games? Or have any research suggestions to read for say a competitive college athlete performance level?
I'd be super interested in that and seems like the more data we can collect from watches etc the more potential variables to model or train ML suggestions on?
lots of companies spending big money on this market too. Apple, pton, smart watches.
The documentary Breaking2 from nike about the marathon is really good, shows some advanced individual measurements that wouldn't be available to almost everyone (lactic acid blood draws while running..). in my sport climbing finding new ways to push lactic acid tolerance or better improving physiology through BFR or whatever training would be really valuable and maybe push the sport even further.
