The 3:36 man who ran the mile race in Hawaii yestrday in 4:10 decided to do part of the marathon as a long run today. He ended up running the whole thing per Chris Lotsbom:
Details here:
"Olympic miler Hamish Carson of New Zealand finished seventh at yesterday's inaugural Kalakaua Merrie Mile, and originally planned to run part of the marathon as his long run. Carson did not drop out and wound up placing a respectable ninth in 2:27:21."
Neither his recent mile or marathon are impressive.
I'd take either of them off his hands if he'd like
Your point?
I wonder what the spur of the moment mile times are for top marathon runners?

I think the more interesting part of this story is how Nicole Sifuentes, Shannon Osika, and Dominique Scott managed to substantially dip under the mile world record with nobody noticing...

Hey "coach", you realize a 4:10 mile and 2:27 marathon, especially within 2 days hours (or at all for that matter) is better than 99.9999% of the World. That is by definition "impressive". Learn statistics, and respect and don't even consider making such comments unless you could do the same.
They were given a handicap - they started 20 some seconds ahead, but the time only started when the Men's race went off.
Way to go. Nice run.
Somebody needs to update his wiki
to include the marathon.
209 is outstanding. The temps had to be oppressive.

I dont know this for certain but i would guess they were allowed to start early so that they all might compete for the same pot of money at the end. sometimes they do this to increase the interest in the race. I think its a good idea. I would guess they started like 30 seconds ahead or so.

Kimetto had a 14:09 5k split during his record run. McMillan converts a 14:09 5k to 4:04 and Jack Daniels converts it to 4:06. Some food for thought.
With this guy's mile result coming up I don't know how nobody is jumping on Will Leer's 4:16. I know it was a road mile in December but jeez, 4:16?

Close, it was a 27 second lead as stated in the article at
http://www.letsrun.com/news/2016/12/edwin-kiptoo-wins-battle-sexes-inaugural-kalakaua-merrie-mile-five-seconds/Now I wonder why Erin Finn ran it in a leasurely 4:53. I assume she took a break after the NCAA Championship and was running it for fun rather than try for a top 3 position and prize money she would not be able to accept.
Leer needs to do something else w his life.

Except that is NOT by definition "impressive" nor is it a statistical term. Perhaps you should consider not making such comments until you learn what a dictionary and statistics are.
Furthermore, being slower than someone does not mean you have to be impressed with their times. The truth is that both of those times are not good for a world class male runner.
