A British runner who had never run a marathon before claims to have broken the world record for running a marathon in Crocs. And he filmed the whole attempt for his YouTube channel.
Chris Howett finished the Manchester Marathon last month in under three hours whole wearing a bright yellow pair of croslite clogs adorned with a red Lightning McQueen charm – not exactly what most elite athletes would call a supershoe. At least he made use of the heel strap.
