Ian Sharman, a Brit now living in the US ran 12.44 in the Rocky Racoon 100 miler at the weekend.
The US 100 mile road record is not much faster at 12.12!

That is FAST; 7.38/mile average!
The only one who can tell you "You can't" is you. And you don't have to listen.
That's some going, no excuse for being late for work for that man.
Hills and Guinness!
That's ridiculously fast - I don't think I could manage 20 miles at that pace, let alone 100. In fact, the 5 miles to work this morning averaged at 7:57... gobsmacking! Well run that man.
Holy cow, 7.38 pace for 100 miles? how is that possible? that's unbelievable, wow.
Jesus wept! that's pretty impressive
No hitting the wall, no cramp, no abdominal distress, no troublesome moving parts, no significant slowing - he was doing lots of things right. Amazing!
And here's Tony Krupicka's report; he "only" clocked 13.18 for second:

I'm absolutely gobsmacked. "Well done" seems so inadequate under the circumstances.
An almost inhuman time. Absolute repect and congratulations to the guy. :thumbup:
That's about half of my 100 mile time!
I wonder how he would do on the BGR?
