Probably about 2:14.

2:10:53. Looks to be great weather but I think he will take a few tries to get used to the marathon if he ever does. He hasn’t run anything super promising in the half. Hope I’m wrong but I’d be surprised if he runs anything that gets people excited

Sorry. He’s not important enough to have his own marathon thread. The guy doesn’t know how to race. Workout King. 😂

Not sure. The weather will be perfect. He will fry though if he goes with the leaders. He has to find a chase pack that will not do crazy pacing.

Although I agree with this post, and one probably gets some Ben True vibes here, (who ran 2:12:53 at NYC Marathon), one wonders if having a mother who was an Olympic marathoner and a father who was a sub elite marathoner and elite ultramarathoner might offer any advantage at all, probably rather meaningless at mile 23 when the body wants to call it a day. But let us say best case scenario is 2:08:30 and 2:12 is probably more likely.

Ben True was 30+ when he debuted. Klecker just ran a 46:30 10 miler in the middle of marathon training

Ben ran 27:14 the year he debuted with his 2:12:53, and it is not clear Joe can run even that fast currently, so I am not sure what exactly your point is.

2:10:37. I wasn’t far off

Wait I thought he dropped out?

That was a very good debut. If I had heard in isolation he ran his first marathon in 2:10, I'd be like okay but not stellar based on his 5k/10k history. But 2:10 in NY is very solid and 2:10 with a 2:08 podium even better.
I'm curious to hear how his high level of fueling went. His plan was something like 150+ grams of carbs per hour.

My point is that Klecker just tan 2:10:37, b*tch

Was it? It was perfect conditions and the top American was some guy named Joel Reichow. Never heard of him before

yes, it was. Just because another american runner had an amazing day doesn't stop the fact that Klecker had a very good day

O’keefe almost ran the previous course record. It was a fast day. Just because the male winners didn’t run as fast as they could have doesn’t make 2:10:37 anything beyond “meh” for Klecker. It wasn’t bad. Just did nothing for me

This is a solid result. NYC is not a fast course and his 2:10 is probably worth 2:08 at Berlin or Chicago. Could see him getting down to 2:06 some day on a fast course which is probably not quite as good as his 5k time, but not far off.
