four hour fifteen minute marathon

For any male 18-35 years old anything longer than 415 is a social endeavor not athletic feat.

This is LetsRun...anything longer than 2:15:00 should not receive a time.

Why 4:15? Is there something special about 9:44 mile pace? Why not 4:22, at least that's an even 10 minute pace.

Wait, what? It takes some people longer than 2:15:00 to run a marathon? Why? How?

That's just crazy. What's even the point of running 140 miles a week if you're going to go that slow? So dumb.

I've run slower than 2:15 at times. I have had to stop and count my money and/or say hi to my model wife. You wouldn't understand.

No, no. When you explain it that way it totally makes sense now.

Thank you for understanding. Could I get extra starch in my shirts, please?

Translation: OP's marathon PR is 4:14.59...

I see your point. It takes some so long (8hours+) that the professional timers have already packed their clocks into boxes before the run/walk'er finishes. If I'd run a marathon I'd train so it wouldn't take me 3+ hours, but most people don't want to run a sub 19 5k because burning in the legs isn't fun for most people.

'also participated' better choice of words

What is so special about someone running a 3:15 Marathon? You might as well be running a 4:15.

I think you have to leave it up to the director of the race. Really, the biggest problem I see is keeping volunteers tied up for 4+ hours.

Here is a SAD THOUGHT.

There are people year after year (Old women) who steal tons of marathon spots by running 4:20-5 hour marathons Lol. Yet I know a dude who ran 3:04:10 and didn't get in. While some lady walked a marathon and took his spot,.

Anything longer than 4:15 get zero points on the IAAF Cross Event Scoring Tables

So you do consider a 4:10 marathon to be an athletic feat?

It is worth about one point on a 1 to 1400 scale.
