Im not sure of the question here. I get it's a joke of the Avg OTer basically being "Thunderlips..the ultimate male"
But..
Could the avg OTer finish a marathon after training for a yr? Highly likely.
Could the avg OTer QUALIFY for Boston after a year of training? The avg OTer - no. Some OTers - sure
Could the avg OTer win Boston? WTH kind of thread title is this? Elite runners didnt get there in a yr...
Better question...could the avg OTer win a local lowkey 5k after a yr of training. Possibly..given a mid 16 is just under 5:20 pace. But that is still improbable

Nobody in here could come close to the top 100. Maybe even top 500.
Finished in the top 500 last year

Right. But again, we were talking about just finishing. If you are trying to shave off 10 minutes to get under 3 hours, sure, terrain matters a lot.
None of these folks have ever even heard of Kilian Jornet Burgada!

Hopefully like 98% could finish
I'm late forties and have been jogging for the last year and a half and can't comfortably complete three miles. Something always starts bothering me and I say "frick this." Ten years ago I was doing seven miles because that's all I cared to do at one time. Currently have a resting heart rate of 55-62, why can't I run longer, age or not pushing self enough?

I'm not quite that fast, but I plan to sign up for the Bawston Marathon with my 3.50 hour race time.
