That said, I think it's unlikely that he'll run better than 2:12 because he isn't sponsored as a road guy. Does he really want to take the next couple years to focus on running 2:09, when he's already a top ultra guy? I don't know how much he's making, but it doesn't seem like the value is there on trying to become a second tier marathoner.
Jim will not run a 2:12 and he can train all he wants and will not get to 2:09. Just because he is the World Champion in announcing lofty goals does not mean he actually will achieve that. Jim is 29 years old. He is not getting younger.
Yeah, because we all know how Carlos Lopes career went downhill in the 10 years after he turned 29.
