It's pretty fucking impressive
although I'd question the use of the word "runs" if one completes 26 miles in the best part of 9 hours.

But, I'll be dead long before I'm 100 so I should probably be more impressed by him. Even though his 100 years must have felt like 500 if tea and ginger curry are the most exciting things he consumes.

I reckon that's about walking pace.
Still, fell sorry for the 5 poor buggers slower than him.

Slower than walking pace.
You should be able to walk a steady 4mph.

But he is old I guess.

I reckon mine is about 3Mph, normally.
I suppose that is southern softie walking pace, as opposed to hard northern walking pace.

I can easily cover 15 miles in about 6 hours...
So that sounds about right.

Dunno, are you a southern softy or a northern hardnut?

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 16:14, Reply)

that was basically my point.
that's only about 3 miles an hour

One also wonders why he went to Canada.
Are our marathons not good enough?

We don't allow brown people in our marathons

Only marathons I've ever seen had Ethiopians and Kenyans way out in front
which rather disproves your contention.

Which is why we no longer allow them to participate
Bloody immigrants, coming over here and winning our races.
And I think this takes us full circle back to the beginning of this thread. Time to go home.
