No. I disagree. I think he definitely could, and will this year at the NYC Marathon.

Also remember that Phidipides died afterwards.

Is that with armor or without.

Dude, Phidipides ran ~52+ miles, Lance is only going to run half that (if he does not DNF).

Phidipides does a much better post-race interview.

And he left absolutely nothing on the table.

there was no one chasing us... distance is its own reward.

That's really funny. I'm going to go to bed on that note. Thanks:)

Actually Pheidippides ran from Athens to Sparta and presumably back (somewhere around 250km each way). The stories of him running from Marathon to Athens (and possibly from Athens to Marathon first) and dying afterwards appear much later and are far less credible.
