I had a goal of running sub 3:20 as this was my 5th marathon and had a pb of 3:27 I never ran a mile faster than 7 minutes in training and I broke 3 hours. That is impossible on a normal day. Today was ridiculous.

An honest runner like yourself is rare. Somebody like CJ who dipped under 2:11 will think that 2:08 is just around the corner. WRONG. Your next marathon will be 2 minutes slower. Just watch and see. We call this the Marathon Project Effect.

"Yourself" is reflexive and incorrect in this usage.

Interesting, did you do tempos/thresholds at 7 flat and just basically grind them out month after month!? It sounds like you did a ton of work at MP effort and the conditions just came together perfectly. Sounds like a Hansons plan to me (even if you didn't do that), or what they are intending--people get huge PRs based on getting used to MP.
Sub-3 is 6:52 pace, so it makes sense, plus you tapered and race-day magic happened.

I was there. Was it a great day condition-wise? Yes. Do I believe you? No.
He was a 3:27 PR guy, shot for 3:20 and went sub-3? It also depends on how many marathons he did before, so he may have had a lifetime base that was huge, or he does ultras. I know quite a few ultrarunners in Central Ohio who blow people up simply because they are used to overdistance (running 50k, 50M is easy for them) so a 26.2M race is nothing to them...they run 3:20s or better without even trying.

Hey Grandpa, the Marathon Project Effect is when you go from 2:22 to 2:19. Change your perspective; fast times build on fast times.

Yo america, it’s common in English speaking countries outside US to use “yourself” to be polite, respectful, or formal.
