I feel like most runners serious enough to be on letsrun should know a marathon is 42 kilomters and 195 meters.
42k would be the marathon distance in metric, and just guessing that 195M would be number of minutes, translating to 3:15.
Clearly not.

How on earth can you draw such a conclusion? In the States, metric measurement means jack squat.
Yes, for instance, race distances are never measured in the metric system. Oh wait...
Runners really ought to know what 42.195 km refers to.

Turned out they ran across the country. Nicely understated.

Just another insecure triathlete who thinks more is better. A 10 hour IM is not better than a 2:19 marathon.

Yes but most 26.2 stickers are not found on the cars of 2:19 runners.
you can't be serious.
