Let's see here. I'm assuming that means an 8k time of 26:11.
That means you had a VDOT of just under 65.
Your predicted marathon time was around 2:33.
Assuming you had the same talent level as you did at 8k, and also assuming you went ahead and did the training to express your talent, and then ran the race.
You didn't do those things, so shut up. Or: go train, race, prove it, and then yack away.

This is true in your case.
El Guerrouj is a WR holder and Olympic gold medalist. He's sat on the couch since he retired 17 years ago.
But I don't blame him for it. He's achieved something better than I have.
It's ok to be less successful than someone. Maybe take that advice from me.
You are not seriously comparing a retired WR holder and Gold medalist with your 17 year of couch sitting?
Greg is lying as usual. El Guerrouj has accomplished more in his retirement than Greg will his entire life.
Now retired from competitive running, El Guerrouj dedicates his time as an ambassador for sports and toward humanitarian activities which promote the positive effects of sport in society in his home country and around the world. He has also participated in cultural and sport programmes supported by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the International Olympic Committee Athlete’s Commission and the United Nations.

No, the other guy is bitter I have better times than him. He's not the brightest character.. he'll simplify his assessment of the last 17 years of my life by assuming I've sat on the couch the entire time.
That's how his brain works. Or doesn't.

greg we obviously know that sometimes you sit on a chair too - we've seen your videos. You also go to the gym and play piano occasionally, and every so often you go for a run.
Now tell me what you've done that meaningfully affects someone other than you!

The subscribers and viewers of my Youtube channel highly value the content I generate.
It is of the highest quality and craftsmanship.

Can you do something about the ugly, asbestos-laden popcorn ceilings in your video? I'm shocked you live like that. The health ramifications are not good.
So you're 20 now?? What pace was your most recent race?

I'm experiencing chest pains and coughing right now, but perhaps later I'll see if I can look into it.

Those subscribers are probably your mom and dad and whatever politician you've harrassed recently. It gives them a way to see what you're doing without having to talk to you.

Maybe I will post 58 more and lose 10 subscribers.
Wouldn't matter if I believe in what I'm doing.

Also this means 22 people are privileged to a great deal of high quality content.

It looks pretty good actually. A lot of the time I hardly notice the recession is there.
Just because I have a bright future doesn't mean you should try to bring me down.

This reminds me of your nonsense logic about communication. You said it didn't matter if people understand you, as long as you understand yourself...even though that isn't communication. Similarly, when challenged to explain what you do that affects other people, you cannot come up with anything and say all that matters is you believing in yourself. When it comes to impacting other people's lives, that's explicitly untrue.

What do you foresee? A marathon PR? What's bright?

The only way you'll have a bright future is if the government installs some new LED lights in your apartment.
Expect great things.
