Going to that linked site, the runners are running behind a pace car with a raised part showing elapsed time. If they run behind that pace car it will be an unfair advantage as they will be running in its slipstream. Any sub-two-minute result should therefore not be considered a record or at least should be shown with an asterisk disclosing the drafting, IMHO.
It wouldn’t be considered a record. They violate several rules. The pace setters are going to run in a “V” formation with the actual runners in single file behind them. It is realy more of a science experiment than a track event.
This won't count as a world record, but will serve as a major marketing coup for Nike.
Still very neat to accomplish.
The story gets worse.
The pace runners will form a flying V, and the three competitors will run inside the V-shaped wind break.
To me, that fact alone makes the record feel tainted.
