Geez, atleast he finished it.

Brent you couldn't finish in 6 days.

How fast did Jimmy John's do it?

**philswin** · 11-13-10, 01:07 PM

Thats like almost 14 min per mile pace which means a lot of walking

**ttwarrior1** · 11-13-10, 01:21 PM

lmao, losing weight eating a hoggie. He was eating a big foot pizza everday just for lunch for ten years, yeah no wonder he can lose weight eating about 2 pounds of bread a day

**Grind House** · 11-13-10, 01:26 PM

Bet nobody in here would've finished that bitch faster than him.

**Reload** · 11-13-10, 01:33 PM

At least it got Subway Club subs down to $5 for a while.

**C-Gold** · 11-13-10, 01:34 PM

Everybody loves to hate that Jared from Subway guy. I hate him too I'm just saying he's such an easy target.

**philswin** · 11-13-10, 01:38 PM

Ran my first Marathon in 3:43 the guy just did not train 6 hours is half running and half walking

Maybe his aides should have carried him while he ate a few subs , could have finished in 5 hours

**Justin7** · 11-13-10, 02:23 PM

Wasn't it 5 hours and 15 minutes or so? About 12 minute pace for OVER 26 miles.

The guy finished it. 5 miles is easy. 10 miles is tougher. when you get above 15, your body starts failing in progressively nastier ways. I tried training for a marathon a year ago, and never made it past 15 miles.

Don't knock Jared until you do a Marathon in any time.

jogging for 26 miles is insanely hard. i bet most of the fat f**ks here couldn't jog 2.6 miles

**Swinging Johnson** · 11-13-10, 03:30 PM

This sounds like Brent has some sort of dog in this fight because there doesn't seem to be an issue here. The guy finished the marathon, no pr guys will get fired, Subway gets good publicity and Brent and his ad agency is still trying to wrest that contract from the incumbent ad agency. Thread Fail.

**Dutch** · 11-13-10, 03:35 PM

That sumbitch!! I had him finishing in 4.5 hrs...****** up my parlay.

**philswin** · 11-13-10, 03:41 PM

A 6 hour Marathon is not anything worth promoting that means he walked half the distance. Must have been great for the fans to watch him walking. Hard to believe he had a personal trainer and has been training since January.

**GettingScrilla** · 11-14-10, 12:00 PM

Philswin...1st its Giants win, 2nd marathons are extremely hard, I can guarantee you have never run one or will run one...I am a physical trainer here in the bay area. I have run two half marathons of my own and have helped train countless people for numerous events. These things are grueling, no question about it...while a 6 hr is nothing that should make the news, it is still impressive for someone who is/has been over weight, and to do the NYC marathon as your 1st. Bold move, but I bet the money was right for my dude Jared.

**vitalogist** · 11-14-10, 12:26 PM

Robin Quivers kicked his ass.

**Jrod124** · 11-14-10, 12:26 PM

Jared finished? Impressive

**orlikowski** · 11-14-10, 12:28 PM

it is just impressive that he finished. I don't think i could finish

**pavyracer** · 11-14-10, 12:30 PM

Still 6 hrs is better than your time of 6 days BrentCrude.

**Flexin** · 11-14-10, 12:35 PM

I'm impressed. Did you see this guy? Yes he lost a lot of weight but the guy isn't athletic at all. I was shocked when I seen the tv ad that said he was going to be running. I really didn't believe he would finish at all.

Good for him. I know I'm not putting my body through that abuse that it would take to train and then run a 26 mile race.

Didnt Oprah finish in 4 hours and shes the size of a VW.

Chilean Miner Marathon runner Edison Pena ran, walked and hobbled his way to the finish line of the New York City Marathon, showing the determination that helped him survive more than two months trapped underground.

Wearing a brace on his left knee, Pena finished the 26-plus miles in 5 hours, 40 minutes, the New York Daily News reported.

RUNNUNG a Marathon is an great accomplishment. What that no talent Jared did is a joke. With all the hype and personal trainer and in training since Jan. Read some articles about the Chilean Miner thats a story. IF you show up at the bash next netxt year I will take you for a little run around Vegas maybe you can keep up.

**Mr. Peepers** · 11-14-10, 01:57 PM

I bet ryan howard or michael strahan couldn't run 6 miles....nice work jared

**unde0087** · 11-14-10, 01:57 PM

ya he lost some weight but shit the guy could still lose another 60 lbs. Just look at him, he looks uncordinated. Doesn't look like someone who should be running in any race

**Flexin** · 11-14-10, 01:59 PM
