whats the point of this either way? whether its fast or not, you are much better than you were before. even though plenty of people can run faster, a 15 minute pr is something to be proud of. even all these middle of the pack d2 lrc-er's wouldn't stand a chance against the best in the world that they're comparing you to. keep getting better and enjoy the ride.
Hi Mike,
Where did you cheat this time?
bummer...the broken link was the most impressive one.

(fastest marathon pushing a pram: 2:31:22)
The best part of this thread is the OP never ran a 2:54 full thon.

there are 1,339 public and 239 private high schools in CA, so that's a 1 kid running sub-4:25 at roughly every 13 high schools.
yet "Any hardworking high schooler can run 4:25".
lolol ok dad.
Correct. 120-125 no-talent, uncoordinated, yet hardworking kids from ONE STATE ran sub 4:25. You've proved my point exactly.
Maybe 5 of them will have a small chance at a mediocre pro career. And that's a huge maybe. Likely none of them.
And that's just from one four-year cohort in one year. That means that under 30 and over eighteen, there should currently be about 1500 people who managed the feat in that one state while they were in high school.
It's okay, I also have no talent. We do the best we can.
Did you get the pity applause?
Op
Be happy. Most of us marathoners are not. It takes time. No pun intended. But, improvement comes in sips not gulps.

38 million people in CA...
You ran it like almost 30 mins slower than the Nike guy. You are pathetic.
But... you do own about 99.9999999% of the world and you run it about 8 hours faster than me... so eh.
faster than Oprah, and about as fast as Paul Ryan. Not bad.

No, no, NO!! 54 minutes slower than the Nike guy!!!!!!!!!! I mean, that's the average length of an inning in major league baseball!
And just to view the 2:54 in another perspective, Rosie Ruiz, a True Blue American Running Goddess, won the Boston Marathon in 2:31:56 (back in a day before runners had chips on their shoes, you know -- nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Compare her STUNNING victory with that SLOTH-LIKE 2:54!!! Tsk!! Tsk!! Tsk!!
[On the other hand, her 11th place NYC Marathon finish (an inexact term) of the previous autumn was in 2:56:29 -- just two-plus minutes behind OP's legendary run...Hmm...maybe the 2:54 wasn't so bad, after all...ASSUMING HE DIDN'T PULL A ROSIE RUIZ, and he actually, legitimately ran it!!!!]
Why should we try to make you feel bad? Joggers can have goals as well.
174/123 x 101 = 142.9
You ran the equivalent of a 2:22 800 meters

I beat my previous marathon best by 15 minutes and finally got that BQ.
I've been riding this emotional high for a bit too long, feeling like I'm pretty fast.
I felt like I was gonna pass out and my vision was getting wonky near the end. Definitely a 100% effort
Please bring back my insecurities and feelings of mediocrity. I need some basis in reality.
I'm a not going to try and make you feel bad.
My first marathon was around that time (well, maybe about 10 minutes faster) and I was the proudest little girl in my elementary school the next day.
Did you know that the Boston Qualifying time used to be 2:50? We didn't get excited over anyone slower than 2:30 because that was too slow to help you in the Boston Team competition.
It was the 70s and 80s. We were better.
