I know this girl who ran her fifth marathon today in NYC in the range of 2:55 - 3:05 hrs, was ranked within the 65 first spots for women.

How good?

I know some girls who didn't do sports after high school and have done similar times. They are very solid times but not elite. A natural athlete with some running speed can definitely do what she did.

She also has a ton of upside if she chooses to link up with a local running team and train more intensely.

There were about 65 women in the marathon who ran a sub 3 hour marathon this year. So I guess we can say she's moderately impressive. Her 10k is average for a fast runner, around 40 mins.

3-hour marathon equals out to about a 38-39 min 10k. 35 minutes equals out to more of a sub 2:50 marathon, but all of this depends on training.

I knew a girl who regularly could clock in at around 3:00 for the marathon but couldn't drop her 10k time below 40 min. She was just that much more of a distance runner.

lolNO. A marathon is a very strange beast. This girl had a spectacular race where everything went right. She may never approach that time ever again, even if she improves in all of her other times.

It also takes much more than "a couple of months" to train for a marathon. This girl has been training and racing all year and had the race of her life (or is perhaps just more natural at the distance races).

i have a close friend who i used to run with who "just did marathon training" for 4 months after taking basically the entire summer off and ran a 2:58.

You're definitely 3-hour capable. You just need to execute on the day of the race and hope everything (weather, injuries) go smoothly.

Also, 100 miles a week is a lot on your body. You need to build up to something like that gradually and carefully.

Swimming isn't that great for anything other than swimming. I found that one legged squats (or any sort of glute exercise that takes place on one leg) to be helpful re: injuries as well as general fitness. Core strength stuff is great too - you really fall apart during those last 6 miles of a marathon and if you have a stronger core, you keep everything in check that much better which will help biomechanics and stave off injuries.

I ran sub-2:50 with similar training (but I ran under 31 in the 10k in college so have some good genes and a good training base). 100mpw is more than enough for you to break 3 - and probably too risky injury wise unless you are careful.

Just run 50ish mpw and make sure you do a long run each week, building up to 22 miles at the longest, and one speed workout each week. Go super slow on recovery days. Hydrate.

Does she do organized workouts with any team? NYC is also a tough course for a marathon and yesterday was a bit warm.

Naming people is different from starting threads.

I know, but XO sadly isn't the kind of place where you can laud someone's admittedly excellent achievement without having someone ruin it by looking up their name.

Especially when the person that's the subject of the thread falls into certain demographic categories that get a lot of hate around here.

Still, naming people is not cool and we know that ever since xo was sued for this very reason, so the stupid faggot above should simply refrain from posting names.

Stop drooling over a 3:00hr female marathon runner, here's the real deal:

White chick, third place overall for women behind two Kenyans, time: 2:28hrs, she's 32.

Now THAT's impressive.
