I'm not sure what to say about this guy. I've raced four marathons in about 15 years. I don't do that any more. I use the term raced because that's what I did. Two of those marathons were under three hours. This guy has to be jogging them otherwise I don't see anyone surviving that. A fellow I used to run with was a really good marathon runner and would complete the distance in about 3:35 and also did Iron Man triathalons. He told me once that running a marathon all out was harder than the Iron Man because it was all out for about 2.5 hours, with no opportunity to pace yourself like in a tri. I bow to this guy for what he's doing, but he's still nuts for trying.
