What is Bill Rodgers' PR?
How about every dweeb you work with that quotes PRs from Boston?
Thank you.
It's 2:09:26/27 from Boston in 1979.
Sorry that you work with dweebs and you have a slow pr, but that's not anyone's fault but your own.
Thank you.
Rogers also ran a 2:08 in Japan:
1976 Sado Island, Japan (2:08:23) 1st CR (200 meters short)
It was 200 meters short but that would only add around 30 seconds. That's his real PR. Boston tailwind wasn't his best.
Re: The debate over whether 2:04 marathoner Ryan Hall is actually a 2:04 or 2:06 guy will live on another year.

Sorry, I was being a butthead. All of your points are valid. I just have such a problem hearing the truth. And yes, I changed my handle to this as you did get the best of me and triggered me something awful, hence my post and handle changing.
I'm pee wee wee and many others. It just really gets to me when someone beats me with simple logic that I can't follow.

Clever ain't your strong suit. Stick to nasty and juvenile.
You could include Desi from Boston 2011. Fantastic run
It's not dumb - it's accurate. Here are some of the superior American marathon performances from the last decade:
Meb 2014 Boston
Shalane 2017 New York
Rupp 2018 Prague
Rupp 2017 Chicago
Rupp 2016 Rio
Desi 2018 Boston
Meb 2012 London
It was great to watch - you are correct there![/quote]

No. that is not how this works. Once you run that time you become that guy.
Hall was 2:04 guy. Plain and simple.
Unfortunately, hall was never a silver or bronze olymlic medallist guy.

good lord. rupp boys are hurting. Time is ticking....not enough EPO in the world to pull age back.
Hall was 25 and 28 when he ran 2:06 and 2:04.... Rupp was soon to be Mo's whipping boy.
Now he's Yomif's whipping boy. lol

Daily reminder Wejo has a faster 10k on the track than Hall does.

You are delusional. How is hall a faster runner? Galen has a better PR at EVERY distance that Hall ran, including legal marathon. The 4 second difference in the half is negligible because of the 180 degree turn before the Prague Maraghon finish line.

Truthfully, I'm anything but clever, I just get jealous when people get the best of me, which is often. Juvenile? That's my middle name.

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.
i never think about ryan hall's 2:04:58.
i think about his 2:06:17 and generally disappointing college and professional careers.

what?
lol.
Now his half american marathon record does not even count, and the time difference is negligible.

FOH.
There is a difference between a REAL MARATHON and a CIRCUS ACT. but continue to entertain yourself.
You're comparing kipchoge's science project against Hall running the BOSTON MARATHON? Hall ran one of the greatest marathons ever because he paced Mutai to the fastest time ever at that time. All the africans thanked him for basically making that race and pacing it.
Rupp fan boys are so threatened by Hall it is ridiculous.
Isn't the point of a race to win? Fast times are awesome but winning is the goal. When you focus on times, then you end up making stupid arguments about how the other runners thanked him for pacing them to a win. Translation: they thanked him and were being courteous even though in reality they beat him.
Unlike Hall, Rupp has won two international marathons.
I don't hate Rupp or Hall, but I will say this, if Rupp (I know he was still doing track stuff back then, pretend he had already been a marathoner for 3 - 4 years) had been in that same marathon and was fully prepared for it, he would have beaten Hall by at least 30 seconds. Then Hall fans like Scorpion_Runner would be saying how it didn't count cause of the tailwind.

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.
If he was naturally gifted his body would not have given out.
There is a reason wind aided times in the sprints do not count. Having a twenty to thirty mile wind on a point to point course is worth several minutes. Just check the top finishers future times after that Boston. P.S. Stop calling a 20458 a 204. It is a 205.Are you gonna call a 10.99 100 meter a 10?

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.
This is how it should be labeled. I'm not the poster, have wejo check, but I agree 100 plus percent with this poster. It was significantly aided and it's a sub 2:05, not a 2:04. scorpo is a lost cause who is simply getting off on getting responses to his messed up way of looking at things.

1) where was there a 20-30 mph wind again? Really? In a few years its going to go up to 40-50mph
2) It may add some minutes but no one knows how much exactly. I doubt the conditions in Boston 2011 would help more than a minute.
3) Wind aided times in the sprint makes sense. The wind indicator is right next to the runner and its only a short 100 meter sprint. How do you apply "wind aided" to the Boston Marathon? You can't. You can only assume, and most seem to assume comically. You think a wind speed indicator on top of one building is going to tell you the conditions of a 26 mile winding course where the wind was coming form many directions and not just from the rear? Many times I noticed the flag flying sideways on the course. Don't come here and lie flat out that it was just a tailwind.
