It’s a whole different thing to try and picture it than see it! I ran a 1/2 marathon where a highly ranked runner was competing in the full. He passed me at mile 11 of the 1/2, so about 23 of the full. His pace for 26 miles was absolutely faster than I can run for one, maybe two blocks. Just giant effortless strides, with a damn smile on his face. Iirc, his marathon time was 2:12.
