Curious....anyone ever think that maybe the marathon record has always been behind the prediction equations? What does that say?

Not sure if the above comparisons take into account a road vs. track
surface, but the difference is still obviously substantial. Purdy-Gardner,
which I've found to be excellent over the years, have 12:51 and 26:51
equaivalents, further supporting Marty's thoughts. P-G has Radcliffe's
marathon equal to 29:03 and 13:50, so that does also suggest the superiority
of her reord.
