If you run long races like that close to together, you really can't give an all-out effort because you're dealing with some level of fatigue. I'll run at least 2-5 min. faster running a well-rested, "peak" marathon, vs. back-to-back marathons (

Is the actress Arija Bareikis his mother?
This guy is not even that good, just has ability to run long.
There are so many marathons now that you could run every week, and not hard all the time. He has run 2:28, 2:28 and 2:27 this year and 1:07:40 half.
There are much faster dudes out there doing much better.
Brian Morseman has run 5 marathons this year
Asheville Marathon 2:25:46 MArch 16
Talahasee 2:24:28 February 2
Little Rock 2:26:16 March 2nd
Garden Spot 2:25:23 April 14
Cowtown Marathon 2:24:42 February 23
Now this is way more impressive versus Bareikis.
Mercedes 2:28 February 16
Little Rock 2:28 March 2nd
Fargo Marathon 2:27 May 10
There was also guy last year Wijciec Kopiec run 2:22 every week almost, and I think this year ran 2:17 when back to Poland and focused on one marathon. This Bareikis guy should focus on one marathon and try to run 2:20 to 2:21 range.
He has a blog and you can read about his race reports. Pretty cool to read his reactions.
By the sounds of his last race fargo marathon he is taking some time off? Bwhens he attempting to race again?
Haha!!! This is hilarious! Arturs has a forum on him being suspicious! Personally being a friend of him this just made me almost die of laughter! Haha this is hilarious! Arturs is not on epo folks lol when you are in good aerobic shape you can run several marathons at a decent effort for workouts. Which is funny because you guys just like throwing out accusations based on nothing. Just so everyone knows epo doesn't help speed recovery steroids or growth hormones do EPO raises the natural epo level in your body allowing you do deliver more blood flow. But like I said the guy is clean and busts his ass off. It's funny they should test him just to proof he is clean! Plus anyone insulting his country is just an idiot how date you insult a nation? What makes you better? What makes you better when you try to bring others down? Nothing makes you less! It's so you know as well Latvia has some decent guys running at the Olympic standards which is what you need to run to be in the Olympics as well on the women's side the top marathoner has won New York several years ago. Ignorant people lol I'm going to have so much fun seeing his reaction to these assumptions! Haha
Michael,
Just keep running your half marathons and getting beat by no body's and leave this forum to the men. 1:08 is nothing to call home about homie.
After reading this thread in its entireity, i have to say i am appalled. Track and field and running in general is supposed to be about support and companionship. Not accusations and putting people down. i like to think of running as being part of a family. A worldwide cummunity bondes together by a mutual love of pushing ourselves to our own limits and respecting the ambitions and limits of our teammates AND competitors. The moment you start bad mouthing a fellow runner, YOU are the problem, NOT the person you point fingers at. when you start acting in a childish manner such as this, you weaken the very foundation of the sport you CLAIM TO BE so dedicated to. We all need to remember why we joined this sport in the first place and why we stuck with it after all the failures, injuries, and setbacks. Because its a family. Doesnt matter what country you are from, wherr you went to college, or how fast you run a mile. Its all about the soul of this sport. Dont you people DARE spoil the good name of track and field with your cruel and misdirected words. thanks:)
