At the New York City Marathon in November Meb was the first runner to wear a pair of Skechers shoes in a major marathon. The result? A 2:09:13 personal best. He’ll be hoping the sub-7 ounce shoe can provide the same magic tomorrow as he attempts to secure a spot on his second Olympic Marathon team. Photo: Hawi Keflezighi
