In the spring of 1981 Dick Beardsley ran 2:09:37 on a long course at Grandma's. The correct distance would have been 2:09:10.

In the fall of 1981 Alberto Salazar ran 2:08:13 on a short course at New York. The correct distance would have been 2:08:40

Interesting that in his recent book, 14 Minutes, Salazar does not even mention the later dispute over the legitimacy of that record (saying it was a WR). One can dismiss the dipute, be philosopical about it, whatever, but you would think he would at least address it.
