The Guinness World Record for fastest marathon carrying a 40-lb - TopicsExpress



          

The Guinness World Record for fastest marathon carrying a 40-lb pack is 3:25:21. I have compelling reason to believe that I can go sub-3:15, maybe even 3:10 or faster... So Im going to give it a go sometime after Worlds Toughest Mudder. If you know of a good flat, cool marathon to attempt this in the January / February time frame please let me know. Thank you Morgan Mckay for turning me onto this nagging idea earlier in the year. Weighing in at 134 lbs, this will be somewhat analogous to a very out-of-shape version of myself (equivalent to almost 25% body fat) trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Aside from just taking on a new and different challenge in life, this will be an exercise to demonstrate that you dont need to be 134 lbs to rock a serious endurance effort. And the corollary to this, you dont need to be 200 lbs to be as powerful as one who is. That is why you see so many successful obstacle racers taking so many different shapes and sizes and arriving at the same place.
