The "Do you have to be in the Elite category to qualify for the Olympic marathon" got me thinking - surely someone, somewhere at some point hasn't been in any school / college system but has taken up running and exploded onto the scene?
Ok once they did they could scarcely be called a hobbyjogger but for that one race, whatever it was, they did stand on the start line as one.
This type of person must exist. Therefore who holds the greatest hobbyjogger performance of all time?
