I get what you are saying but until an American runs 2:04:58, people are always going to remember Ryan Hall's 2:04:58. That's why I say he's a 2:04 guy.

* "until an American runs faster than 2:04:58" is what I meant to say.

I remember a 20mph tail wind parachuting people to the finish

Every marathon is different and there are positives and negatives to Boston like the potential tailwind but also the hills. However, imagine if Galen ran 2:05:25. People would still be thinking about Ryan Hall's 2:04. That's just how it works.

*YOU* might be thinking it, but *people* might not. I certainly won't. Hall's 2:04 is no more relevant than Kipchoge's 2:00. Not an AR; not a WR.

And I was a big Hall fan.

No. that is not how this works. Once you run that time you become that guy.

Hall was 2:04 guy. Plain and simple.

and based on his half marathon time he could have run faster.

Had his body not given out, he would have easily run a 2:03 time.

He was too naturally gifted.

No, he was a sub 2:05 guy on an aided day, "that's" how you say it.

Just like when a sprinter or long jumper has an excessive tailwind, it's called aided.

Yep

If you listen to Alberto and Rupp talk about goals, they reference the AR of 2:04:58. They don't mention any other time.

No one cares what they are saying. Regardless, it is the record, albeit "aided" on a point to point course. For an official course where the start and finish have to be within so many feet, it's NOT the record.

And the WR for the 100m is 9.45 sec.

Clearly the GOAT, like Ryan Hall.

Lol sounds like you don’t. He was making a point. If your unused brain had a normal attention span, maybe you’d have read more than one post and understood what was going on.

If hall is a 2:04 guy, is Kipchoge a 2:00 guy?
