Man Sets World Record for Sub-3-Hour Marathons

Waiting for the gas company to come change our meter this morning- reading some running articles. I am happy with sub-4 hour marathons, but I am an underachiever maybe. Ran my first marathon at 40 and out of 14 have only one race at 4:02 that I learned what hydration is all about. I average a 3:45 give or take 5 or 10 minutes. The schedule he follows is familiar as I run year round, but the advice of fewer races, weight, softer surfaces- is spot on; I don't coach nor have I ever had one. Kudos to Mr. Smythe for finding his fountain of youth
