Running a marathon in sub 2hrs

[fistfullofsteel]

Is it possible? They thought running a sub 4 minute mile was not possible. Watching the NYC marathon makes me think, damn, i'm happy i'm not the one running it.

To each their own, but I would have no desire to do it. Who here wants to look like a stick man? That being said, if I wanted to do it, I know I could run a marathon.

That woild be about 4.5 minutes a mile the entire 26 miles. I don't think it's imposible at all

If they allowed an open class where every drug was allowed then yes they could do it but if it is olympics clean then not in our lifetime.

Damn!! I was happy when I got my 1 mile time to under 10 minutes. I usually do my 5k's in about 30 minutes......I still am amazed by those who run it in 15 minutes.....
