His goal is to break his old marathon PR of 2:38. I'm not sure how long it's been since he raced a road marathon. There is an old adage that says once you start running ultras you've ran your fastest 10k. I'm not sure if this applies to marathons and I know of several competative 100 milers who came back after several years of ultra and PR'd the marathon.
we could get a top level elite runner to participate in the Western States 100M. Would love to see what Tergat could do on this course.
Yes, I know. Since you're repeating yourself, I will too:
Why does he look like the Tim Robbins character from "High Fidelity"?
Matt Carpenter. Leadville 100. Crushed the course record.
He has also 2:19. Maybe faster.
Yeah i doubt western is going to put up the doo that it would take to get Tergat.....
But i ...would love to see it....tergat has got to rank as one of the toughest runners around..i have a hard time buying that somehow Jurek is as tough as tergat.
I doubt Jurek is as fast as Tergat, but I can believe he's as tough as Tergat.
