I tell people I my HM pr is 1:04 instead of 1:04:50

1:04:59.9999999999 is still 1:04.

Yes, because you’ve misled them into believing that you’re as fast as I am.

Can't even keep your made up story straight from the title to the body. Great job

No, that's legit. When fans heard "three" after Roger Bannister's mile they went wild. Didn't matter if it was 3:59 or 3:19 or whatever.

Only if you agree that when someone runs 1:59:59 for the marathon it is still considered a 2hr marathon.

So you even lied in the thread title?

Huh? OP imagines a guy going out in 59:59 then finishing with a 59:59 second half. for OP, that’s a 1:58 marathoner.

I had a Friend who ran 4:06 for the Mile in High School, he had a Teammate who ran 4:59 so He says his Teammate is the same as him, They both run The Mile in 4 Something. LOL

I think with slow times like 64, the seconds don't really matter.

When you get down to 58-60 people start wondering about seconds. 58:10 is a lot different from 58:42.

It would depend on who you are talking to and they know the difference between 1:04 and 1:04:50. If they are just impressed that you ran 13 consecutive miles without stopping, precision probably isn't needed

Also, if you were talking to someone, would you care if someones marathon PR is 5 hours, 13 minutes and 45 seconds or is 5 hours 13 minutes good enough?

Who can remember so many numbers. I would just say I my pr is 1 hour.

Just say a little over an hour. Works for 1:01....works for 1:29.

Nope. For OP, that’s 1:59 marathon.

Disgrace

My marathon PB is 2:59:48 and I tell people it's 2:59. I ain't lying.

Not to be a dick, but in road races they round up, so if you ran 1:04:59.01 or higher it would would be rounded up to 1:05:00 officially. Your general premise is correct, but you go off the official results in my opinion.

My full mary PR is 2:48 high. My friends insist on calling me a “two forty marathoner”

it’s sorta embarrassing

No. And unless you're talking to a very serious runner they have no idea what the difference is between 1:04, 1:00 or 1:15. Unless you're talking to an OT level or better runner no one has a clue the difference between 1:04:55 and 1:04.

You changed your time from the title to the post. This is either a troll, or you’re really insecure about your time…
