It's hardly impossible.There's a guy who comes on here who's raised his by 17ml/kg/min, and he's still got some tests to go.

He also found himself at the front of a triathlon, which he stated was a novel position for him.The triathlon was around 1.50 in length, reasonably close to a marathon in time.
