Just silly. There are perfectly good cars that drive 26 miles.

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.

That's only 7 seconds per mile. Shouldn't be a problem.

Ha ha! Or about 2.4%. Which is a lot. Fifty years ago was the last time the marathon record was broken by more than a minute. Just sayin.. LINK

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!

It was ran at 2:00:25. That means he averaged 4:35 minute miles.

That's amazing.
