Not a huge fan (he seems nice and is cute for sure), but I do love when celebrities take up the sport and take it seriously! Sub-3 is pretty great. His time was 2:59:13 to save you a click.

Agreed, I'm not a fan either, but no dislike or anything towards him. And that is a seriously impressive time!

And a 25 minute improvement over his Tokyo time from earlier this year

As impressive as that time is, even more impressive he ran it in a long sleeve shirt in 70+ degree weather!

I know he ran under an assumed name; I wonder if he has tattoos he felt would make him too recognizable?

While Stiles may be faster, he’ll never be as cool as when Joe Strummer of the Clash ran the London Marathon in 1983 wearing a custom Clash singlet in 4 hours and 13 minutes. Also, he has the most epic taper ever in marathon training: “Drink 10 pints of beer the night before the race. Ya got that? And don’t run a single step, at least 4 weeks before the race.”
