In response to "'gets out calculator". Oh. Though for a minute is still longer than I would keep up with Kipchoge in a marathon -- nm" by JD

I’ve said that I’d like to try to start up front and see how long I could keep up with the leaders. About 100 meters is my estimate. -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 19:56
I think I could do it for like 100m, but that would be like a full sprint. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 19:43
You underestimate yourself. I think off the line you'd be there 🙂 -- nm - JD Jul 5, 19:38 5
- Did you ever see that treadmill that they set up at marathon record pace to see how long you could keep up with it. -- (link) - pmb Jul 5, 19:53 [youtube] 1
  - The last time I ran the California International Marathon, they had that setup for the expo. I had zero ego to embarrass myself on the belt -- (edited) - JD Jul 5, 19:58
- I just looked at one of my downhill dead sprints. Translates to a 2.5 hr time - Reagen Jul 5, 19:42 2
  - See! You and I could sprint all out. Watch the race pull away at 200 meters or so, 'run' a cool down to 400 meters or so and go find a bar to watch - JD Jul 5, 19:49 1
    - The question for me is whether I'd make it as far as the bystander's sign. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 20:00
