In 2014 I trained with a guy named Matt who was a 2:53 marathoner. He asked me if I wanted to run with another group at lunch, so I said sure. It turned out Matt was the slowest guy in that group (and my fastest time was 6 minutes slower than Matt's). Out of the 6? guys, two of them were sub 2:30 and were trying to make the Olympic trials.
I almost died (and they were out for an easy run).
