Jim Walmsley to run a road marathon

but he ran a 1:07-1:08 half mary after getting kicked out of Air Force for cheating. that's pretty good, right?

Practically none of them run 2:12.

Lots of guys run 10.5 second 100s.

Practically none of them run 2:12 marathons.

Seriously, there is no way Walmsley runs faster than 2:14 on just ultra training. He just wouldn't have enough speed training for a sub 13 at Western States.

Love these ultra guy that say he can do 212 lol

He went to ultras bc he can’t do marathon

What's the fastest marathon time with the slowest 5k time?

Probably Dick Beardsley.

I'm pretty certain Kawauchi would win 99/100 road marathons against Walmsley. One of them has run like 60 times sub 220 and a bunch of times sub 210, the other guy has zero and zero. If he really is capable of 211 marathon then he is throwing money away by not being the #2 US marathoner right now.

No googling, who is the #2 US men's marathoner right now?

Neither of them are making much but I'd bet Walsmley doing much better on the sponsorship front than him.

Some nobody Jim can beat. It’s an inspirational story . Just like Gwen Jorgensen . A superstar in one specialty taking on the challenge of the marathon . Sponsors love this stuff .

He's split 5km faster than that at longer distances.

.... and now he has the new course record.

Just think.. David Sinclair, a VT mountain/trail guy just solo'd 2:18 in Hartford and qualified for the Trials.

Walmsley will run sub-2:15 in his debut if he chooses the right race and has the proper training block.

Walmsley is Stinson 2.0

Anders Szalkai has run 2:12 and barely broke 30 for 10000 (29:59). His other Pr's are:

1500 - 4:02

3000 - 8:24

5000 - 14:29

HM - 1:05:07

M - 2:12:42
