First time visiting?
Close, but I think you're about 75 minutes off. FWIW my PRs are 2:19, 290k, no wife but 3 FBs that average an 8.7, and 8.5"
Current shape or lifetime best?

Seems about right
because you know over 50% of Letrunners were at the Olympic trials
The average Letsrunner has never finished their local 5k let alone a full 'thon. I predict >10 hours median time for 26.2 if a race was held.
I know there have been threads on this before (age demographic of posters), but over the years (I've only been on this site for about the last 15 years) I've always thought the age range was broken down roughly like this:
-Maybe 10-25% high school/college runners
-A lot of posters (45%-65%) in the 25-45 year range (majority) who may have run in college...some pros... but then also total beginners and new runners.
-25%-30% (roughly) between the ages of 45-75+
So there is a good chance that many of the younger posters (i.e. high school and college runners and even those in their early 20s) have never run a marathon before. It is also likely that newer runners may have dabbled in 5km-10km and half marathons but also have not run a ton of marathons.
I'd guess for sure have some OTQ guys on here, some Div. I All Americans, and a lot of 2:30s and 2:40s runners also..But there are doing to be many, many more in the low 3 hour range. Total guess, but I'd say the average (including all marathon results of a single poster over their career) would probably be right around the fastest BQ time.
Then of course we have the "maturity" of the posts on here....where it is very hard to tell sometimes if it is a 15 year old or a 45 year old writing...

Most aren't stupid enough to run that far.
What's your goal race? Still shooting for a full IM?
No, I've decided instead to become a Navy SEAL. That will prove to all the trolls and bullsh!t fairies that I should be taken seriously! And it will be a nice addition to my already long list of accomplishments.
those women kick my bun
Marathons are beneath letsrunners.
4:00, at best.
You use the word average. Average tends to be highly affected by outliers.
I would say that there is at least one poster here who, for a variety of reasons, would not be able to run a marathon.
How would a DNF affect the results? I would believe it would be registered as infinity, thus, the average would be infinity.
