Only about 2% of runners will finish a marathon in less than 180 minutes (3 hours)

Six years ago, I couldn't even imagine running the distance (26.2 miles). But after working up to 3-4 mile jogs a few times a week, I set the incredible goal of running a half marathon.

After four months of intense training, well at that time (20-25 miles/wk), I ran the Houston half-marathon on January 16th, 2005. It was so grueling, I swore that was it. I'll never do another half, let alone a full.

Fortunately a running comrade pushed me to do a full marathon. Rededicated, I set a sub 4:00 hour goal for the full Houston marathon the following year. I trained harder than ever and crossed the finish in 3:59; I was hooked.

I've now run 21 marathons and this site is my journal to join that exclusive club of those who finish a marathon in under 180 minutes (3 hours).

Sydney M7 Marathon

I've done a couple of marathons Down-under, but haven't had a chance to the M7 in Sydney.  It is a point to point course down the M7 highway.  The 2013 race was last weekend (I was busy having tea at Auntie Lorraine's)
 
I've noted two things about the race, it's a bit hilly and the high number of sub 3:00 finishers every year.
 
 
Well, this year there were 215 full marathon finishers, and 20 went sub 3:00.  Possible, or do you think they need to re-measure the course :)
