Which is more impressive: a 17 min 5K or a 5 hour marathon ?
(I couldn't hold myself until Friday, sorry)
5K 20:23 (Vdot 48.7) 9/9/17
10K 44:06 (Vdot 46.3) 3/11/17
HM 1:33:48 (Vdot 48.6) 11/11/17
FM 4:13:43 (Vdot 35.4) 3/4/18
Depends - what is the distance on the marathon?

catwhoorg doesn't joke around. This is deadly serious.
Are we there, yet?
Depends on who's running each. 17 minutes for Mo Farah isn't all that impressive but 5 hours for me would be a huge improvement over recent times.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
i'd be more impressed with a 17 minute marathon AND a 5 hour 5k.
marathon pr - 3:16
From the Internet.
I'm glad I started a trend, haha!
Both - I cannot imagine either being on my feet for 5 hours or being that uncomfortable for 17 minutes.
I can't believe LTH hasn't posted his race splits here yet.

If this is serious.....
A 17 minute 5K. I'm pretty sure with the right training I could get myself to a 5 hour marathon. It would be hard work but I think it is something possible for my body. A 17 minute 5K.....I really don't know if there's any amount of training that could get me there. I could quit my job, lose 50 pounds and run all day every day and I still dont know if I could do it. That's just damn crazy impressive. *bows down to all who have accomplished this*

My 9 hour marathon is the most impressive of all.
Running is dumb.
