Dean Karnazes' PBs Below the 26.2

this guys wyatt has real range,

jonathan wyatt is the five time world trail running champion.

he's also run 2:13 for marathon, 4:01 for mile, and a 28 min 10k. he's run in the olympics a couple of times.

then he just changes it up and takes over the trail running world.

He hasn't run a sub-3:00 marathon has he?

He ran a 2:55 in NY in 2007.

Is that the race he was stalking Lance Armstrong the whole way?

Runners World Q/A with Karnazes

Okay, answers below:

1) 1500/mile, 5k, 10k, half marathon prs? Never run any of these distances, always longer. My half marathon pace at the NYC marathon last year was 1:26, I remember that.

End discussion

Ultras are definitely a honky event. If East Africans had any interest in them then they would dominate that too. A goodie bag with a Cliff Bar isn't enough to attract them. Big $$$$$ is.

Definitely not accuarte "PB's"

Look, I really don't like Dean, but asking what his shorter-distance PR's are are about as stupid as asking what Usain Bolt's marathon time would be. Running ultra distances is a completely different arena than shorter distances, and the athletes that excel there have a different set of strengths and weaknesses.

Don't bust the track star's balls for crumbling in the longer stuff, and don't call an ultra runner slow because they can't run fast times for shorter distances. Just enjoy the show!

Dean doesn't run ultra distances. He takes a ride in his van and cheats his way to the finish, just as he did at Badwater 2013. He was reported to course officials at Badwater, but Badwater won't diqualify anyone for cheating, even if it was Parvaneh Moayedi and a dozen people reported her. There's a reason he hasn't shown his face at any event in the US other than a North Face event that his sponsors required him to run since Badwater 2013: everyone knows for sure that he's a cheat now that he got caught redhanded.

You won't find the results on the internet, but he ran a 32:17 10K a few years back. He has more talent than most people realize.

I didn't know he was that fast of a 10k runner. I knew that he was a highschool standout miler but then went on a longer hiatus...

Always found it amusing that people think someone like Bekele wouldn't have been able to obliterate ultras if they had wanted to. Talking about a guy that is the fastest track runner of all time, the greatest XC runner of all time, and ran 2:05 in his first marathon. Solo. The perfect combination of blazing speed and superior strength.

That said, the further away you get from "running", the less suited he would be. Some of the 100 milers they have today where you spend more time scuttling up and down trails is a totally different story. (Hardrock)

that last line is uncalled for.

32:17 over 9k maaaybe

Why did you guys dig up this old thread about this nobody?
