I've only raced 2 full marathons so far:

Doing XC now, so its going to be awhile before I do another 26.2. But my goal is to eventually go sub 2:40.

Holy crap, for a second there I thought I was reading my own post. I ran 3:43 in Sept 09 after only a few months since taking up running and 3:06 this past May. However, I'm much younger than you.
3:21 first time, 2:24 8 years later. under 2:30 4 times

Valbymania: Shoe Companies Expecting Great Things! Her base may be between 650k-800k
2024 College Track & Field Open Coaching Positions Discussion
Nordas running 3:34 with one shoe is proof that supershoes don’t work
American men regularly now run sub 13 5k and sun 27 10k but marathons stuck at 2:07. What gives?
College coach contacted me. Love the school - not sure about him
