the problem is people have become more obsessed with times than wins. no one even cares about the world marathon major winners unless its won in a fast time.
This couldn't be a more inaccurate take. Des Linden's Boston win. EVERYONE cares about that. Shalane's NY win. Again, her crowning achievement. Meb's NY and Boston. Anyone remember (or care?) about the times for these? These marathoners have huge resumes, but their WMM wins are their career defining (and most memorable) moments. And no one cares about the times.
