After this morning's amazing run by Mary Keitany, we called up LetsRun.com coaching/stat guru John Kellogg and asked him what he thought Keitany could have run if she had run more even splits.
Mr. Kellogg qualified his remarks by saying he didn't get up at 4:15 am to watch the race so he was assuming there was nothing dramatic that changed with the weather mid-race (we believe that is correct), but then said he thought she could have run under 2:16.
"My guess is it would be a 2:15 something with even pacing...(It looks like she simply) started off at 2:11 for the first 5000 and then it looks like it was just a classic slowdown after that."

Agreed. However I am too lazy to do it.

I actually suspect it is the best pacing strategy for the marathon, as opposed to the traditional negative split.
Kinda like how you run a 800 - go out fast and hold on to it - this way you can really give it all.

Kinda like how you idiotically compared the 800m to the marathon?

Keitany definitely didn't run the 26th mile in 4:53 as the race recap claims. Her pace from 40k to finish was around 5:25. Looks like the 26th mile marker was misplaced.
