    my favourite surprising one is Alan Turing, the mathematician most famous for cracking the Enigma code in WW2, ran a 2:46:03 ... in 1947!

    Fastest marathon by a Member of Parliament is by Matthew Parris who did 2:32:57 in the London Marathon in 1985. Don't think our current bunch of MPs will be beating that any time soon.

    Joe Strummer, frontman for The Clash, ran 3 marathons. Before The Paris Marathon, he drank 10 pints of beer the night before and didn't run a single step 4 wks. before the race. His time was believed to be 3:20. He died of a congenital heart defect at age 50.

    How about athletes from other sports? The tennis player Caroline Wozniacki ran 3:26 in New York in 2014, and Amélie Mauresmo, former tennis player and coach, just ran a 3:14 in San-Sébastien (I think she's done at least 6 marathons)

    My dad ran the Marine Corp marathon the same year as Oprah! My mom, sister brother & I hung out in one if the Smithsonian museums until he was supposed to pass by. Back in the day before GPS watches and tracking and we guesstimated based on average pace. End of the course was very muddy and there were Marines all over helping folks meet up with their runners. A memorable day for all of us.

  • @robertmorano2372

    I'm always impressed by Daniel Humm (Former partner and chef at eleven madison park) being a 3 hr marathon runner. I think 3hr 4min was his last NY time. As a chef myself, getting the training done while putting in full days in the restaurant takes a different level of savage. Not to mention a restaurant that is at the level of eleven madison park. That guy is putting in longer days at the restaurant than some work in an entire week. Then pumps out a 3 hour marathon. Probably went back to work after crossing the finish line.

    I ran the Conwy marathon in 2019 and was chatting to Adrian Morley on the start line, lovely guy and he ran what I thought was a very impressive 3:54 for a stocky rugby player, he also looked like we was held together by multiple strappings from years of rugby injuries. I've only ran a couple of road marathons, fastest was 3:16 but it was the Snowdonia marathon so I remember trying to work out if that would have been the equivalent of a sub3 on a flat and fast course, and I think it would have been close, only run trail and fell these days though.
