What you don't know is that I am also the ganster of love. I'm a lover, I'm a joker and a midnight toker! so would I want to hurt someone...only if they liked it.
But come to think of it, if the dude did run 203 runs of 26 miles I think he probably could run a 2:37. so I take it back and will advise on the 203 runs. I also recommend doing them at goal marathon pace to make sure you can hit that pace in the race. Good luck!
