I keep forgetting about this race for some reason and I've had it on my list for a while, I know a person involved in putting on the Garmin race. I'm doing the Salina Marathon on Nov 4th. Just randomly kind of came up and they were running a $7 sign up special.
That will be my 10th Marathon I think and I've done around 5 50Ks and 2 50 milers with a personal long distance of 55 miles.
Lewdog couldn't be more wrong, 26 miles is 26 miles whether you are hiking or running its always work. Frankly the people spending 5+ hours out there to finish have my respect. I've never run slower than 3:55:00 with a PR of 3:20:02. Is it super human? No but its more work than 99% of people are willing to put in.
Not sure how old your coworker is Lew but she likely ran fast enough to qualify for Boston unless she is really young so what she did is indeed impressive.
