    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?

          I'm assuming this is a joke?

            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.

                    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.

                    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.

                            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.

                                Not as impressive as my four-hour HM.
