This is a guy who runs 30 mile training runs at 5:50 pace in the middle of 120 mile weeks (https://www.strava.com/activities/848635301/overview). Plus he's got decent track credentials too, sub 14 in the 5k.
He could easily go low 2:1x, and I wouldn't be surprised if he could break 2:10. I know some of you will say he's trying to avoid drug-testing at WMMs but are there any other reasons? I'd personally love to see what he could do on a fast course.
He has stated his goals to move to the road marathon in the future, specifically you'll see him run the 2020 olympic trial marathon, I believe he has stated this would be his first marathon.
Man you run under 2:12 and you might start to get tested between races. Ultras don't test when you are hiding out in the mountains training. It's part of the culture.
oh no way, do you have a link? hope he doesn't burn out before then
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
