JustinW Gunning for Marathon Speed Record
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007
JustinW, a computer programmer based in South Bend, IN has announced that he will be running the world’s fastest marathon this summer at a previously undistinguished race in South Bend called the Sunburst. W will attempt to best Paul Tergat of Kenya’s 2:04:55 world record, run in Berlin in September of 2003. “Tergat certainly delivered on speed, but I’m confident my Jedi mind tricks will give me the edge,” said W speaking to reporters from his home in Mishawaka, IN. W says he is confident that his novel three-day a week training program will help him better Tergat’s 4:46 per mile pace. “It’s going to be tough,” he notes. “But I’ve got some great friends and coworkers to see me through to the finish line.”
