Have you guys seen the new running comercials from New Balance? I keep seeing them while I'm watching the Basketball games and they make me laugh and question wether I should be watching the game or going for a run - wait, don't answer that!

Here is my favorite:

I saw those and loved them.

So 325 hours a year of training and a 13hr finish gets you into the 16th percentile at Ironman Germany? Dude, wait, what?

Very clever marketing. At least for people who do run. I saw some of them while sitting around with my non-active friends watching the ball games and they just didn't get it.

But since they're obviously aiming for the active crowd, they hit it spot on

Awesome. Bought my first pair of NB all-weather stability trainers this year. Love them.
