@okwithmydecay totally agree with this. The big marathons are luxury goods. I guess there are some people who can't bring themselves to wear anything but designer labels, but the rest of us are just happy to be clothed. When you complete a marathon, the achievement is yours forever. This is true if it's a local marathon with a few hundred runners or World Major with tens of thousands. Would be great to have more "middle" events IMO.
@okwithmydecay I hope this is true. I've never been lucky in the ballot for a place, so I guess this would increase my chances. It would also be good to showcase the elite men's and women's races on different days.
@okwithmydecay nice piece. I would dearly love to run a sub-3 marathon. I've consistently underperformed at that distance sadly. The "fun" is in keeping on trying though...

@okwithmydecay 45 min baths 5 times a week for 5 weeks gives a 2.7 ml/kg/min boost in VO2 max!? I'm in!
@okwithmydecay 100% agree with this.
@okwithmydecay oh I saw this guy on a Ran To Japan video recently. Amazing achievement.
