He is tall for a marathon runner.  There might be something I could learn from his running style.

This man is a beast.. Is that a pace of 4.81 minutes a mile .. I did half a marathon two weeks ago and my time was 1hour 40 minutes.. The training and effort I had to put in was just too much.. To see someone doing this is just amazing ..

Yep.  Those guys run torrid paces.  But they have hugely developed slow twitch muscles.  I can barely get under an 8 minute mile.  You must be a semi professional runner to do that well in a half.  I am just glad to keep my belly flat.
