On Thursday, British ultra runner Tom Evans announced he'd inked a new deal with running shoe brand Asics and it seems to be a good fit – only two days later, he shattered the 50-mile record at the Arc of Attrition race.
Writing on Instagram, the runner says it was "such a fun day out" as he shared a video of himself crossing the finish line at the Arc50 race, which follows the Cornish section of the South West Coast Path in England. Evans finished in 6 hours, 54 minutes and 40 seconds, seven minutes ahead of second-placed Hugh Chatfield, making him the first runner to break the seven-hour barrier at the race.
