RE: January 2012
Steve Jones and Australia's Robert de Castella (from whom Jones took the world record) are in similar boats. As BB said, no-one in their respective countries have really come close to breaking their records in a quarter of a century. Here in Australia, the typical fastest marathon time by an Aussie each year is about 2h14, and no Australian has come even close to touching Deek's record.

Meanwhile in pretty much all other areas of athletics the record progression continues, with hardly any records being more than a handful of years old.

I'd love to know why marathon is the exception, although in this country it seems to be just the men. I believe the women's times are still improving. What's going on here?

Run. Just run.
