A friend forwarded this video to me and I felt horrible for this guy. If you've run a marathon and experienced the same thing, you can really identify with him.

Apparently this video picks up after he is standing there without motion for a minute.. Crazy.

Dear god this video is getting around. The funny thing is that running a 1:16 isnt a problem and wasnt the issue at Boston. I actually planned on going out in 1:15, but altered the plan b/c of the wind.

My problems resulted because of hydration. The wind made it feel like I wasnt as dehydrated as I obviously was, so.. Lesson learned.

Really? And that's why you ran 25:30 for the 30-35k split?

Dear Previous poster,

have you ever run a marathon before? don't you realize what can happen to a body because of dehydration, no matter the level of talent? people who have experienced marathons don't make comments like.

How'd you get such a high number if you were hoping run low 2:30's. Same thing happen in your qualifier too? I've been there a few different times in a marathon. I can fully relate. That video brings back bad memories of the marathon.

jeesh poor guy. That's got to be the ugliest 2:40 marathon finish ever.

To the guy in the video: what's your PR?

I need to see more of these videos. I'm running London on Sunday and need to make sure I don't go out too hard.
