Subject: RE: Fastest Surge in a Major Marathon?
Body:

All right, we've got:

Ramaala @ 4:21
Merga @ 4:19 downhill but won
G. Mutai @ 4:31 for 3 miles in a row (in the last 10k no less)

I'm starting to think that to be an elite marathoner you really do need sub 4 speed, or close. Otherwise how can 4:20-4:30 not kill you after running almost twenty miles at 4:5X pace?

Excellent Point...these guys have a lot more pure speed than people realize.
