don't you think 83 is a wise age?
This would make an awesome thread: How much has the Marathon WR dropped since the day you were born?
Well, the Marathon WR was 2:26:42 from 1935 - 1947. Wineturtle could be anywhere from 83 down to 71 years old. But even at 71, might hold the LetsRun poster board record. Anyone else?

Living or ever?
Canova is like 300
There are a number of older board members. I'm barely older than the Bell Labs transistor patient .
2:15:16 by Bikila was the WR when I was born in 1961.
Can we talk about something more interesting. There are plenty of important things in our entire universe. Did you know that a section of rainforest the size of Kansas is burnt everyday.

The area of Kansas is 213,100 square kilometres
The are of the rainforest is 5.5 million km²
At that rate it would take between 25 and 26 days to burn the entire forest.

It's 200,000 acres burned every day, not 200,000 square kilometres.

No. That time was run in 1947.

Why not just burn Kansas instead? ;-)

No, it wasn't run in 1947.

Another awesome thread: How many years before you set your PR would it have been a WR? 96 years in my case.
Lets Run where the good posters are very good and the poor posters are morans.

I'm not sure they had chronometers that measured down to the minute back when my PR would be the record. :(

Isn't it incredible! I was so excited when Paul Tergat ran his 2:04:55, "smashing" the previous record. Never thought that we'd see it this fast at this point in time. Even if you had asked me yesterday I would have said a 10 second improvement. I thought that the Breaking2 event gave Kipchoge such an advantage with the timer on top of the car, several pacers, alignment of pacers, ... but I guess the advantages were less than I thought. Or maybe today he was wearing the new 10% shoe!
