NUance Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Heh. I was watching some marathon results down to around 2:03 just the other day and wondered when someone would break 2 hours. That last 3 minutes might be pretty hard to drop. Quote Link to comment

That last 3 minutes might be pretty hard to drop. That's only 7 seconds per mile. Shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment

Fifty years ago was the last time the marathon record was broken by more than a minute. Just sayin.. LINK 1 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 If the average runner's stride is, say, 4 feet, then they only need to stretch that out by about 1.3 inches. Heck, perhaps buying a longer pair of shoes could do that? LOL 13 MPH is moving right along for 26 plus miles. Amazing athletic accomplishment to run that fast that far! Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 It was ran at 2:00:25. That means he averaged 4:35 minute miles. That's amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Colorado I-70 Marathon. From Eisenhower tunnel to the east towards Denver for 26 miles. Are skates allowed? Quote Link to comment
