2:50/km. Paces for: 25km @ 1:11:05 30km @ 1:25:20 The WRs at these distances are 1:11:50 (road) and 1:26:47 (track) The last 2.195 km has to be run in 6:14, which is in and of itself unusual even today. Not going to happen anytime soon. |

I don't know the answer for certain, but I would guess that a half marathon is the longest this pace has been sustained so far. In my opinion, we are as close to breaking 2 hours as we were to breaking 4 minutes(mile) when the 800 record was around 1:57. |

Didn't Gerry Lindgren make it about 25-26 miles then he passed out? Sounds unbelievable at first, but considering how much mileage he did and that fact that he DID pass out... Maybe he did. I mean, how many of the top marathoners push themselves hard enough to go unconscious and faint? NONE. Passing out is exactly what I would imagine woud happen after pushing yourself that hard. Maybe today's guys aren't pushing hard enough (obviously not or they would pass out). |

sheeeeeeeet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/800_metres_world_record_progression tadese has run ~7-8 seconds per mile under 2:00:00 pace for the half, so i bet he could slow it down and stretch it out to almost 30k. mcmillan calc points to around the same 58:23 21.1k --> 1:25:29 30k (2:00:15 pace) |

i.e. 60-70 yrs at least. |
| ohoh |

Was this something witnessed by other people? Or a Gerry Lindgren story? Man, that guy is so weird. Can't believe anything he says. |

26.1 miles by Gerry Lindgren, the man himself. |
| Much better |

Geb's one hour run record, and done on a track no less. |
| good point |

I think one of those 58:xx half marathoners could probably hold the necessary pace for maybe 14 or possibly 15 miles. But good point. Shows that we're still 11 or 12 miles away from seeing a sub-2 marathon. |

No, Gerry Lindgren did not make it 25-26 miles at 2:00 Marathon Pace. He's too slow to manage that. |

Just to put it in perspective: Gerry Lindgren's 10k PR is over 2 hour pace. He did collapse in some marathons, I think, but they definitely weren't at sub-2 pace. |
| huwtf |

Gerry Lindgren did not run 26 miles (or whatever he claims) in under 2 hours, but he did run his 6 mile WR in 27:11 (4:32 per mile pace). His 6 mile WR pace would give a 1:58:47 marathon. (Not that this makes it any more likely that he ran 26 miles in under 2 hours.) |

Gerry ran 16:08 for 4 miles and beat all the 1964 US olympians in that race. That time is on par with a sub 2 hour marathon, look it up on mcmillan calculator |
| well.. |

No he didnīt. That pace is about as fast as Kenny B:s 5000m WR. Anyone with a 3 digit IQ understands that itīs impossible. |

This will happen when modern training keeps evolving, lead by the new coach Yangseff Pachewko. Currently he is unknown as a coach, and no one knows where he is. |

This thread should be permanently tagged to the first page to diffuse the morons who think we are right around the corner from a sub 2. |
