Cliff Notes:
Runner
MCM
* 2005 to 2015 he only lost 4 seconds on his marathon time, age 51 - 61.
* per MCM timing results missed mats in: 2005, 2007,
2005 MCM ran 1st half in 1:42:02 missed the 20 Mile mat and finished in 3:17:43 so ran 1:35:41 for second half
2006 MCM hit all mats ran 3:31:06 even splits
1007 MCM ran 1st half 1:50:48, missed 18 Mile mat finished 3:22:46 so ran 1:32:58 2nd half
2008 MCM missed 30k mat ran 3:46:27
2009 MCM missed 30k mat ran 3:34:26 with a 28:00 10k from the 25k to 25k mats
2011 MCM missed 25k 30k mats
2012 MCM missed 15k, 25k, 30k mats from half to 35k ran 13.92k in 48:18 or 5:35 pace
2013, 2014, 2015 MCM missed the 25k and 30k mats
2015 MCM ran 48:44 from half to 35k or 5:38 pace
check the results yourself to verify. what is odd is that the runner consistently can hit all the mats to the half at about 1:43-1:47, then floors it and misses mats, comes in with negative splits
Boston qualifying for 2005 for a 51 year old was 3:35 in 2015 for 61 yr old was 3:55. the runner is well exceeding the qualifying standards and generally would BQ if he ran even splits. Why the negative split and missed mats??
Just odd all around.
times are off because of missed mats and all but not sure you can rule out legit runner here
