Google tells me 5'10" is closer to the avg, so 6' would pushing the upper bounds of average, but close.
did I say 6' is tall? I think the 6'3ish 170-190 guy is going to look a lot faster in his comparison than most.

Never. I have run between 2:38 and 2:46 (158 to 166 minutes) for all of my raced marathons (once tempoed easy a 2:54 in a relay), weighing typically about 137-40.
One of my training partners is 6'6 and ran 2:38 at Indy Monumental in 2014. I think he weighed about 200 lbs at the time so approximately 42 under his weight at the time. Is that the highest so far?
2:16.09 is 136 minutes, weight was 167 so about 31 under my weight.
6' 1"
Sadly no, I weigh 120
Nobody has run under my marathon weight!
Are you using weight at the end of the race? I'd expect some of these differentials to be a 5-10 smaller if we go post race weight.
I've run 144 mins and my weight hovers around 145. Would have probably been way under that at the end of the race though.
Why my PR is 2:23. I bet when I started I was over 143 but I bet when I finished I wasn't. I way like 175-80 now. I don't even remember what I weighed then. I'm pretty sure it was like 147-8 most days but if I was fit it was like 145ish and after a long run close to 140.

At least you do it your way.
He does that deliberately. Don't enable the troll!

I have.
I ran a 2:59 and weighed in at around 190 lbs. at the time.
I ran 4:00.xx at 240 lbs (6'2"). Nailed it on the head. Had a guy finish just ahead of me who was 6'8" and I'm guessing weighed 275-280.
Since we are handicapping weight, why not throw age into it?
marathon minutes + age years v. weight in lbs.
At age 60, weight 160, no way I will run 2:40 (would be a few minutes off AGWR), but I am comfortably under 3:40, or "elite hobbyjogger" status.
At 6'2" I've been getting beat by little dudes my whole career.
2:17 marathon probably weighed in at 130-132 before the race. Only 5 or so away but that's going to be real tough to get.
160, 2:43
3 minutes over.
I suck!!!
It's easy (?) for me because I weigh 184. Lots of time to play around with.
I've I've run a few marathons under 3hrs. My fastest at this weight is probably 177 minutes.
.
150lbs, 2:24=144 minutes.
Since I weighed 118 when I ran my last marathon...guess that's impossible
2:38, or 158 minutes at a weight of 210.
So a difference of 52.
6'5" by the way so if I was 5'10" I would probably be around 170.
Currently weigh 225 and am purely a skier now.
Ran 2:39.06 at 161 @ 80 degrees, often wondered what I might have run in decent weather.
