wudda you think about people who claim they ran a marathon in over 4 hours?

4:00 is ~ a 9:10 per mile pace, I'd imagine lots of 4-hr marathoners do that without walking a step.

We should applaud them for continuing for the whole 4 hours. It is hard to do anything that you do not get paid for for four hours that makes you sweat.

This. As long as you have patience you should be able to do it if you want.

wudda you think about people who claim they ran a mile in 4 minutes?

wudda you think about people who claim they ran across the U.S when they were sitting in an RV driving 4 hour marathon pace?

wudda you think about a 70 year old guy who claimed that he ran 3 hours straight every day at 8 to 8:30 pace?

I'd probably nod my head and then not think about it again. I have more important things to care about.

Wudda you think about pop music?

wuddya think about whataburger?

WHO CARES? Don't you have anything else to put your time to?

Good kek, thank you for this

Well, go try and run 4 hours at your marathon pace. Guess you can't, you pvssy.

Almost 30 years ago, a friend of mine hated our outdoor track coach so she ran a marathon with her two brothers in honor of their grandfather instead of doing outdoor track our senior year. Her brothers were older and hadn't run much since they graduated HS. They finished in just over 4 hours.

Today, she still gets kudos for having finished a marathon but the 100 points she scored at 7 state meets and the state runner up XC teams she led are not remembered.

I have a few points:

1. 4hrs could be ran still however for most people they walked a good part of it, I'd think this could be a HUGE accomplishment for someone who is disabled in someway or highly unoptimized for running (eg, 60+ pounds over weight)

2. this time was mostly for guys a 4:10 mararthon for any non runner is pretty ood and a 4:10 for even some irls that run would be fine, 4:25 is probably an equivelent girls time.

So what are your points?

meh..for someone new to running or overweight...I guess. Unless this was a "Running with the Devil" result from Nevada, then well that's just normal.

I ran a 459 marathon.

Split 135/324

Month before I ran 131/137......308
