Average marathon time of a Letsrun.com poster?

My best was 2:43 in 2006. That was 3 years out of running in college. Current best is in the 3:05 range.

My guess is that due to the large number of former college runners on here, the average is probably just sub 3.

I cannot lie....3:29:33. *BUT*.....I ran a 1:28:33 half and a 29:54 5 miler. I never ran a marathon in the years I was in the best shape of my life. I *probably* could have run close to 3 hours based on all my race PR's, up to what I ran for an 18 miler in LBI, NJ.

kind of an irrelevant question since there are so many high school and collegiate athletes here. I have a better marathon time than they do, but only because they've never trained for and raced one.

Board averages seem to be

2:34 marathon

485K annual income

9.2/10 spouse

55 total

19 sub 3:00

About 30 under 3:30

And a few crash and burn or injured.

age 43:

hobby jogger/started running post 40

[1] lifetime marathon [SF] 3:59:nn [paced for a sub 4]

at the time PR's: 20:54 5k/6:06 mile

basically a tremendously sad hobby jogging experience. I also injured my hip after this event and wasnt able to return to regular running again for months
