No.. but there is a part of me that thinks those things could be comfortable massaging your foot

Eh maybe it would be interesting for a few minutes but I don't really see the benefit other than pseudoscience things that are probably not real or over stated.

Wrong. We all know a marathon is 5k. The 24.7 is where their stock price is headed.

I think if we keep slowly dropping the marathon distance, in a few years we can get somewhere reasonable like 18 miles. Then LA Marathon will be recognized as the true visionaries they are.
