I edited out and slowed down a clip of Paul Tergat running from a Nike+ commercial – looks like he’s just going at a jogging pace. Beautiful form if you ask me. Entire commercial is here on YouTube

That’s just what you look like, right? :)
I wasn’t able to get your blog site out here until just recently… so glad I can now!
He makes it look effortless.
They photoshopped my head on top of Tergat. :)
It’s amazing how fluid his stride is – reminds me of a YouTube clip of Gebrselassie running 4′ mile pace on a treadmill. So smooth.
Yes, effortless, and at a leisure pace (for him). But why is he looking at a point maybe 10′ in front of him?
“Look at his perfect, barefoot-like form. Now buy our over-designed, clunky, colorfully misleading shoes!”
