I've checked some random results - the difference is crazy. In Europe the median time seems to be around 1h55, while in the US ones it was more like 2h15-2h20 ! Which is very bad indeed
- mannykannot 9y agoWhat times are those? They are not marathon times.
- watwut 9y agoMale marathon world record is 2:02:57 and female is 2:17:01. It is unlikely that median marathon time in Europe would be faster then world record.
