What happened to 4:02 marathon post? I think it was a hoax that was exposed from this thread. I think this thread may be a hoax as well but with nothing to do during the 89 hours of the freezing ice in D/FW it's been entertaining.

I see those A$$holes ever race standing in the A group behind the elites .Easy to spot the 4 hour plus people standing there with their cellphones in hand taking selfies and wearing hydration packs .

When someone says they finished A Marathon, I can usually look at them and have a General Idea of their time, But to be nice I say what was your time? If they say 6 Hours, I act like I am Impressed and say WOW, that is a Lot of hours to be Running, It is a Little phony on my part, but they are happy with my response and I did not create bad vibes with that person, If I had answered well The Men's World Record is 2:01.09 And The Women's Record is 2:14.08 To Me, I would be acting like a Jerk, and that Person will feel I put them down,, Sometimes it is better to be phony, so you do not make a person feel bad, I did not lie to them 6 Hours is a Long time to be running/working out etc
I've heard this (apparently true) story about Bill Rodgers:
This was in Bill's heyday when he was rightly considered one of the world's best. A nonrunner met him at some function and learned he was a top marathoner.
"Oh, hey, here, meet my buddy, he runs marathons too, he does them in four hours!" The buddy, who is fully aware of who Bill Rodgers is and knows the relative value of a four-hour time, is deeply embarrassed.
Rodgers turns to him and says, "Wow, you can run for four hours?!?"

Like you said.
I was at my High School reunion one year. This girl I know who just got married was running around telling everyone that he is a marathon runner. I told her that him and I should get together now and then for a run. Now almost everyone in my High School class still remembers me. She told me that she didn't think I could keep up with him because he had just done a 4:46 marathon. I said you're right I probably couldn't and went to get another drink.
“Him and I should …”: intelligence equivalent of a 5-hour marathon.
