    There are a lot more marathons nowadays, so yes you are diluting the available pool quite a bit. What were the big races back then? Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston... Then again, how many more east Africans are in races nowadays?

    The East Africans haven't had much of an effect on the NYCM. In 1982 15th place was 2:15:02. If you look at the historical results 2:15 will get you in the top 10 and it's been that way for almost 30 years.

    re: malmo

    It seemed like you kinda dropped off after the half-marathon. Do you think that in foresight if you had done different training, that you could have gotten top 41? (Discluding the things we didn't know until recently) Or was it just not your day?

    re: Ropp

    foresight? you meant hindsight.

    Discluding? try excluding.

    When I look at this it seems like a little more taper might have been better- like staying below 100 MPW- after Philadelphia.

    It is also interesting to see that in 1982 47 runners finished under 2:20; 167 under 2:30; 1597 under 3:00. In 2009, 20 under 2:20; 59 under 2:30; 999 under 3:00. And Chicago 2009 only had 834 under 3:00 and similar numbers at :20 and :30.

    It is so strange how the marathon has surged as a participatory event, but sank as a sporting event in the US.

    I do remember watching the race on tv in 1982. The crowds were massive. Maybe not 2 million, but not that far off.

    Unfortunately the marathon has gone from a race to something that you simply do to "finish." I'm sorry, but if you enter a marathon simply to "finish," you're in the wrong event. It would be like entering a basketball game just to run around on the court. I guess a first marathon goal could be simply to "finish," but after that it ought to be to run as fast as you can and I don't think most people do this anymore.

    This is exemplified by shows like the "biggest loser," where they are now giving that Shay woman an opportunity to "run" a marathon after only losing 56 lbs with $1000 per pound on the line. Why a marathon? Why do we have to devalue it into some freakshow event instead of a serious athletic competition that it was meant to be?

    I know why there are more run to finish "runners" at the marathon. Marketing. Training groups like USAFit, Galloway and TnT know that their success depends on large numbers, which means they must appeal to the widest audience. The marathons love this because it means big numbers, high entry fees and the ability to sell large chunks of entries to the training groups (a la Rock N Roll marathons). Thus, we get the run-to-finish mentality, ephasizing the bucket-list/life experience aspect of the marathon.

    But what I don't necessarily understand is what happened to all the fast runners? There are twice as many finishers in NY, yet about half as many sub-elite/local elite times. I am not sure that more waddlers is the reason there are fewer fast guys. Maybe there are just more marathons than in 1982 and everyone got funneled to NY and Boston in the 80s to run fast.

    Seems to me his preparation was pretty well perfect. His cramping problem seems to be dehydration.

    He needed a hydration coach:)
