http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/201... > The average finishing time globally for 26.2 miles in 2014 was 4hr 21min 21sec – about 40 seconds faster than the average for the period 2009-2013. Men’s average finishing time was 4hr 13min 23sec, while women’s was 4h 42min 33sec – 29min 10sec slower. I'd suggest your 3:30 was still definitely more than "slightly above average". If you want to quibble about the median instead of the mean, e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/sports/23marathon.html > In 2008, the median finishing time [for men] was 4:16, a pace of 9:46. Which still puts 3:30 way above, I think. |
