They’re the 2nd dumbest race there is - only ultramarathons are worse. Why would anyone want to run at a pace slower than LT for 2 hours and however many minutes?

Sure, but aren’t you glad some folks are wasting their lives away by running so much? Less competition for women, wealth, power, and other societal resources.

You should ask Rojo what he thinks the "dumbest race" is. He will be delighted for the opportunity to do some Free Speech

It's the longest reasonable race. It's a challenge in and of itself to run a marathon. And another challenge to do it fast. A lot of sporting events take 2-3 hours, basketball games, football games, baseball games, hockey games, soccer games. It's short enough that you can have relatively high participation and can be relatable to a lot of people, but long enough to be a big challenge.

Wow, you're right! When you think about it, why even run at all? It takes much less effort to stay in bed!
Non elite clout chasers flock to the marathon. Completing one is apparently an accomplishment. About as much of an "accomplishment" as me drinking 30 beers in a day. Society is all about celebrating mediocrity because most people are incapable of greatness.
I think running and completing one is an achievement in and of itself. Maybe go to one and watch as all different people from different walks of life push and challenge their bodies to overcome the distance. Cheer them on and you will be inspired at how many people work to achieve this monumental task. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize those who are up for the challenge.

Marathon is a physical and mental challenge, and that’s why people do them.

do you even run? what are your PRs exactly?
PRs are more of a reflection of genetic talent vs knowledge of running or dedication to training. I read it here on letsrun.com!

Just image jogging round a track in circles and you are can’t even quantify for your national team at your event?
Nothing worst than you thinking you are fast, when anyone half decent has already eaten a burrito by time you finished?
HM is easy. you just bring it up to threshold and hold it there for an hour or so. Whomever has the fastest threshold wins. But a marathon... requires so much more. it wouldn't be the same if it were a 20mi race. that last 10K- is where you get to see who has the training. Who can did really deep. Who can overcome their legs and lungs failing them.
but- by all means. Enjoy your sprinting. I guess that's running too.
