MAN vs MARATHON...
Quest to propel a runner past the two hour barrier. Can it be done. Some call it an impossible goal, but the quest to engineer a sub two hour marathon leads a scientist to first look for oxygen.
A quarter mile below sea level at the Dead Sea, the barometric pressure is high, there is about 5% more oxygen to breathe. The naturlly enriched air had been shown to increase exercise capacity in those with chronic lung disease. Query, would it do the same for the World's fastest distance runners?
