The point is to ask yourself how far you could go, whether the money would mean much to you, whether you have it in you to do it etc. The fact that you cannot recognize this shows you are a moron.
About $68k, that’s 4 miles per hour - I’d do it back yard style.
For a regular runner, that sounds about right. But I think it is harder to hold a 4 mph pace for 17 hours than you might realize, and would be impossible for the large majority of non-runners.
I can't make you believe it, but it is true. I was astonished to win $2,000 for running a 2:51 marathon, even in 1992.
FWIW, I ran three marathons under 2:50 in 1991 and won zero dollars. I just got very lucky at Pittsburgh.
You're right. I don't believe the Pittsburgh marathon paid $3,000 to the 7th place woman in 1992 when they will be paying far less than that in 2024.
She's told you twice. Not sure why you're laughing at her (lol) and calling her out as a liar when you don't have a clue. You do know the Pittsburgh Marathon has a long and storied history, yes? And that it's been the site of 2 Olympic Trials? And that this woman has run multiple marathons faster than yourself? Lol indeed.

Can this guy be banned? He just turned a cool story from one of the most positive posters into an inquisition/accusation. This is not uncommon behavior from him. Not saying it's the worst thing a poster can do, but it just shreds any aspect of community we still have on here.

I just looked and saw that the prize purse for the Pgh. Marathon Woman's field in '93 was $72,000. So why is this snot nosed kid calling out a veteran high quality woman marathoner about her relating a memory of winning $2000?

"we?" You aren't even a registered user.
I simply said I don't believe it. If she or anyone else proves it, I'll be wrong.

Kessler, many races offered more prize money 30 years ago. This is not as unusual as you think.
Gotta think at least 40 when healthy ( currently on crutches patella tendon rupture) In 2020 I did the Pemi loop- 32 ish miles in white mts under 16 hours.. very little running.. only last couple miles a slight jog
so 17 hours, flat walking gotta think 40 would be doable.
Probably 4 miles, which is my planned run. I have an event in the afternoon for work and biking with family in the evening. I won’t bore you with the details, but pretty full day with some other things going on also.
Why can't I start at 12:01 am and go until 11:59 pm?
I'd shoot for 100 miles. I think it's a lock that I'd get to 50, probably 80-85% chance I get to 75-80 range. Maybe 50/50 on doing the full hundo.
You people really amaze me. Like some people struggle to cover 75 miles on foot in a week and for many of you to do it in a day sounds extremely doable as long as you’re getting paid handsomely for it. Again I wonder if those who could cover 75 miles, would they be struggling to walk the next day? I mean maybe really beat up?

But you must understand that your beliefs are not important here. The woman you were addressing KNOWS what she experienced. So your beliefs are irrelevant. The woman is a solid poster with no history of distortion of facts, which one cannot say regarding you. Ignorance shouldn’t always win, here nor anywhere else.
Hard LOL at the time and mental anguish you exerted to come up with this.
Alas, your total women's purse of $56,000 in 1992 does not break that down into prizes by place. $3,000 for 7th remains unproven.
You are laughing due to your ignorance. You have been proven incorrect in your naive assumption that prize money could not have been more 30 years ago than it is now at the Pittsburgh Marathon. You are one of those “alternative facts “ people who will never admit you were wrong. That is why you garner no respect here.

I wanna know how you ruptured your patellar tendon
