"Phil predicts that soon, probably within the next few years, someone will break the two-hour barrier for running a marathonThe person who does it first may become as famous as Roger Banister became for breaking the four-minute mile barrier when he was a student at Oxford University. Personally, I admire Roger more for becoming a brilliant physician. That’s another story, but speaking of fellow multi-talented physicians who change the world’s thinking, Phil Maffetone is one of these." D. Casey Kerrigan, MD, former tenured professor at University of Virginia (sports medicine and aerospace engineering), and co-founder of Oesh Shoes
