Paul Tergat was quoted and I paraphrase, "I learned that the marathon has to be a long process. It has to be a different kind of game you start from zero.....it doesn't matter how good you are on the track or how good you are in cross country when your talking about 26M you are talking of different limits...T&FN Nov 2003. He had three "failed" marathon attempts before he broke the record in Berlin 2:04:55
Tergat never heard of Jones and Lopes?
