That weight has not been updated in years. He has put on quite some mass in the last couple of years.

oh yes I am sure he has put on 33 more pounds in two years as a competitive athlete that is totally realistic yeah

Doug Heffernan

Clay Aiken

Carmelita Jeter

Why don't they have a BBW version for women? I think that would be fun to watch.

Male weight class (Clydesdale) 220 pounds"

Not the best ever, but former NFL defensive lineman Anthony Burke ran a 3:12 marathon in his prime.

I've always wondered myself. I ran NCAA D1 xc and track at 205lbs. At 210 now.

4:32(1600)

9:24 (3000)

15:57 (5k)

27:30 (8k)

34:01 (10k)

1:19:20 (half)

What was the chip time for the cactus if you don't mind?

I'm not close to the best but 10 days ago I won the Clydesdale division at the Phoenix Marathon 10K - I'm 225lbs, 6' 2", 41 years old and ran 45:08 10K training 4x weekly. However, I also ran a 4:25 1600m at age 16 when I was 140lbs.

The school record holder at my college went on to run sub four after he graduates while over 200 pounds. Can't rememeber his name. Uc Davis 1500 record if anybody wants to look it up real quick.

A few years ago, he was the only sub four guy over two hundred pounds that I knew about.

German 400m runner Ingo Schultz (44.66) listed at 96 kg or about 211 lbs:

The guy from Whirlaway that was in the Indoor 5k record with Rupp is quick, 14:xx kind of times and is like 6'5" 200lbs.

A few years ago while I was out of shape weighing around 205 at 6'1 I could still run 5 flat and 17:30 5k.

Paul McMullen had somewhat of a comeback as he qualified for the semis in the '04 olympic trials

I vote for Michigan's Mark Beams. Rolls on rolls on rolls. He ran a 14:07 5k at UW Husky Invite last weekend, and he could probably run a solid marathon with all the 120-130 mile weeks Gibby has him doing.

3000m (8:17.1)

I highly doubt I'm the world's best (far from it actually), but I have a little glimpse of quality Clydesdale times.

800: 1:52

Mile: 4:12

5000: 14:58

10k: 33:34

Half marathon: 1:21:48

Marathon: 2:48:02
