Sub 3 hours?
Sub 3 hours?
sub 2:30
I have ran 2:46 at about 185, and although I have not run a marathon at 200lbs have done some 5ks and 10ks in the low 17 high 35's range.
A guy I knew in college claimed his 205lb roommate ran sub 3. I don't believe him.

Stupid Question. Depends how tall that guy is. If he is 5 feet then I doubt it. But I ran 2h38m at 190lbs and I am sure I could do sub2h50m @200lbs. But I am also 6'6"...
at least 2:32 but probably faster ...
Although Cummings may not be able to compete with Clydesdale legends like 31-year- old Californian Christian Hesch, who has run a 13:58 5K and a 3:40 1,500 meters at 190 pounds, or 43-year-old Ron Cavage ("King Clyde" according to Paul Collyer, president of the USA Clydesdale and Filly Racing Federation) from Arizona, who was able to pound out a 2:32 marathon at over 200 pounds, he has, nonetheless, won every Clydesdale event that he has ever entered
slow as f*$&.
Depends on his bodyfat. Not all 200lbers are made the same. A 6 foot 200lber with 20% bodyfat will be slower than a 6 foot 200lber with 10% bodyfat.

I knew I guy who wieghed 201 who ran 32:30 10k and 2:40 marathon.
Lived in the Fort Worth Area in the 80's and 90's.
I believe his last name was Baird. (Kirk)
He could crush it for a big man.

According to this article, he is 6' 2" and only between 170-75 lbs! That's SLIGHTLY less than 190!

Yes, Kirk ran in the DC area quite a bit about 5-10 years ago competing as a master. He might not have been 200 lbs during that time, but pretty close. He had a "non-runner build". Very unassuming until he dropped a 32 high masters bomb on the field at your local 10k.
Hesch is about 165-175, that's an exaggeration.
Wow.
You always wonder where people end up...
The 32:30 and 2:40 were conservative in my memory. He may have run faster. I remember doing mile repeats with the guy at a local track. 4:45's or so. That's where I dubbed him the "freight train". Once he got rolling...get out of the way.
He inspired me in my own training and I eventually ran sub 30 for 10k and 14:30's for 5k. I weighed a full 50 lbs less!
My dad ran like 3:10 at 207 pounds(finished the race at like 195). That was on light training. I think 6:00 pace would be max for a 200 pounder, so probably around 2:30.
I finished Boston this year in 2:37 and weighed in at 181 after in the medical tent. My 5K pr is 14:56 and 9:10 3000SC and I usually weigh around 175. I think that a 200lb guy could run in the 2:40's

I remember him telling me he had run several marathons in the higher 2:20's in the 90's, Including a 2:26 at Dallas White Rock in 1995??
He had a self imposed speed limit by the time I ran repeats with him because of a previous injury scare. I remember he jogged them in about 5:10 while I struggled to keep up. I believe he ended up moving to Tennessee.
Nice low key guy.
Wow, Kirk Baird. He ran at Emory his sophomore year, my freshman year. He ran high 25s 8k cross I think, but did not train much, then he transferred to SMU. Saw him in early 90s flying back down West Potomac Park as I headed around Hains Point, he was running sub 32 pace. He was strong no doubt. Anyway, a 200lb man can run 2:30, but not sub 2:25 I don't think.
3:15:24
