Surely the concept can't be original. We got talking on our run today about the fact that one of the guys we run with gained something like 15 pounds recently in just a few days on a cruise. He has lost some of it but he is still 200 pounds on only about 5'7". He was a pretty good junior in the day and took up running again when he got up to 210 a few years ago. Shortly after that, he went 3:10 in the marathon and he weighed about 200 at the time so he beat his weight. Some of the top Africans would likely weigh around 125 so they are close. To a point, the heavier you are, the easier it is.

I'm not following the math here.Comment

Must be weight in pounds = number of minutes you're trying to beat. So a guy running 3:10 [190 minutes] and weighing 200 pounds beats his weight I guess. I find it hard to conceive of such a feet, but I'll take MJD's word for it :shock:Originally posted by ghTake good care of yourself.Comment

Right-maybe gh was thinking metric!Comment

I would think 150 would be ideal. Surely many 150#ers have run sub-2:30.Originally posted by MenniscoComment

THAT would be stretching credulity to the absolute breaking point :lol:Originally posted by MJDTake good care of yourself.Comment

What about running your height in inches for 10 miles? That would probably be more realistic for non-elite runners. Or, height in centimeters for a marathon.

How about running your systolic blood pressure for the half marathon?
