"Healthy" means nothing and everything in this context.
Dumb assumption.
This is true. It's just that untalented joggers who don't work hard don't like this
No way in hell. If you took about 100 "healthy" dudes, i bet only 5 of them break 2:30.
That was worth digging up an 8 year old thread?
Some would need to really train a lot, and this risks injuries more.
Out of 100 healthy dudes, whatever that means, 0.1 of them might break 2:30 in a Marathon.
The article won't open for me, but on the face of it, the proposition is ridiculous.
If you look at McMillan the equivalents are 4:26. mile, 15:24 5k; 31:58 10k.
Do we think "any normal man..." can run those times.
I ran faster than the equivalent 5k, about 20 seconds slower than the 10k, and was nowhere near 2:30 in the marathon (and that was on a flat course with near even pace).
Obviously, I was far from a star, but won area championships in 3000k steeplechase and x-country in England, and ran for the area in National x-country championships. I also won a lot of road races in the US, and placed four times in the USATF Masters Championships, so I would contend that I possibly had more talent than the average "normal man.."
I would doubt with my physiology, that I could have broken 2:40 whatever training I did.
I'm healthy, multiple times World Masters 1500m medalist. I've been consistently running 100 mile weeks for 30+ years, I doubt I've ever been in sub 2.30 shape.
Yeah if you wanna walk around with arms like little sticks and ribs sticking out of your chest, yeah. You have to resign yourself to a life of inceldom if you go that rought tho
Less than 1% of males could do this no matter how much training
It won’t open because it’s 8 years old
No
