Not only his 32nd consecutive NYC marathon, but after breaking his femur in March!

Femur? He hardly even touched her.

 

[Frozen]

Good job, Freddy. That broken femur sounds unbelievably painful. Congratulations on another marathon.

Winner wins in just over two hours. That's almost 13 miles an hour. Not sure my treadmill even goes up that high.

He crossed the finish line at a higher speed than my max speed in the best conditions. Truly unbelievable.

It's like running a 40-yard dash in a little over 6 seconds... for 26.2 miles.

If that marathon champ was averaging 13 mph, he literally could be moving faster than traffic on the BQE.

 

[Eric15]

He crossed the finish line at a higher speed than my max speed in the best conditions. Truly unbelievable.

If they had a marathon exclusively consisting of big guys who had just burned one, this entire board would come to cheer you on. And it would be a ratings sensation.

Half marathons count? Already happened lol. If it doesn’t, will never happen again. 1 star, not recommended.

I appreciate all the kind words -- thank you! I apologize for the delayed response but was out celebrating with a bunch of friends in the city last night that had come in to watch the race. I must say that yesterday was extremely challenging (particularly the last 6 miles). It took me 5 months to recover from the broken leg in late March so only had 2 months to train (off a 0 base), so it was basically starting from scratch. My main goal this year was just to finish, to keep the streak alive (now 32). The NYRR updated their Streaker 15+ link on their website this morning and I moved up 5 spots this year due to other "streakers" not participating. I am now one of 29 people in the world with a current consecutive streak of 32+ NYC Marathons.

Awesome. Hope the leg is fully healed and will not cause any future problems.

Wow that’s amazing — what is the all time record and do you think it’s attainable?

The leader is at 47, but he is 80 and has about 20 years on me (so he is catchable). The green dot on the right denotes a current streak. But the 3rd and 4th guys will be much tougher to catch at ages 71 and 69 respectively. So my near-term goal for the next couple of years is to break into the top-20, and then long-term would love to crack the top-10.

It’s NYC.

You know, some people might know a guy who knows a guy, who could make those dudes ahead of you have some sort of “accident” that interrupts their streaks.

“Nice knees ya got there.
Be a shame if something bad happened to them.”

Congratulations wow! I'm hoping to be able to run it next year myself. Out of curiosity did you happen to run into any of the Ifit guys specifically Rivs?
