2:36 NYC guy wrote:
These elites are beasts... they have insane motors....I don't know Gwen... but watching her at the Olympics she looks so freaking strong.
Just my two cents.... my experience with the 2:36 on 40 miles per week. I come off of pretty large volume of road biking for many years so overall mentally and physically ....but the duration wasn't that stressful. I hadn't run a marathon in almost 20 years ...and I was 39 years old. I had a pretty big motor...but six minute miles ....Were about as fast as my legs could go... but the workload was sustainable. I maybe barely could've broken 16 minutes in an all out 5k..... but that being said I probably could have also run a 32-33...minute 10k at the same effort as the 16 minute 5K ... In NYC...i hit the half at 1:15 and faded to a 2:36:00 in 2014 NYC' on a very windy day. Consciously at about mile 16 I shut it down pretty heavy for fear of completely cracking I was starting to feel twinges in tweaks and didn't want to have to walk... I could've run any faster but I'm not Gwen ...
*same day 2014....My running partner... I swear came off of a very heavy Nordic skiing fitness and some silly low running mileage maybe 20 or 30 miles a week I swear you can look up his strava...Billy Demong....but like Gwen...he has an amazing motor... it was crazy he cruised through 1:15 at the half and only faded to 2:33... I can't say for sure but he would've been really close to breaking 2:30, had it not been feroishly windy. These elite athletes have such massive motors I wouldn't be surprised if she breaks 2:30 or is it least super close plus or -1 minute... my guess 2:31.
Why...do...you...write...like...this..?

Blocks of tri training are great for tri's,marathoning at faster levels require specific training for the distance.Lets be honest she was not prepared for the marathon.Being a great triathlete does not automatically mean you will succeed at a marathon because you are tri fit.
Marathoning at faster levels also requires that you not run a bunch of tri's the week before you run a marathon.
It'll be interesting to see if this is her last try at the marathon.
