In reply to the discussion: Kim Jong Ryan's actual marathon time confirmed: 4:01:25 [View all]coldbeer
(306 posts)48. A sub 3 hour marathon used to be my goal
It used to be a qualification for the Boston Marathon.
I ran a 3 hour and 46 minute marathon after two years of training.
This was in 1984. To say you ran a two-fifty something is
a lie! We runners know. It is not an accidental mis-speak especially
for a twenty-year old! A sub 3 hour marathon is like a
three hundred batting average or gaining a hundred yards in
a game. Over four hours is an atta-boy and I have a few of
those. If I came home and said I ran a sub 3 hour marathon
I would be labelled a liar (for life)!
