Runner's World has an article debating what Lance's time should be. He may have run in the past, but he is a cyclist with a cyclist's body:

"Carmichael says Armstrong moves oxygen as well as anyone, burns more fat than most endurance athletes (a good thing), and is able to cycle very hard without producing much lactic acid (a very good thing). Still, he agrees that cyclists don't easily convert to runners. "Running and cycling might seem similar," says Carmichael, the moving force behind the trainright.com Web site, "but there are distinct differences. And they require different kinds of animals to perform well." For one thing, the top Tour riders weigh 30 to 40 pounds more than the top marathoners; Armstrong checks in around 165 pounds."

There is no agreement as to how he will finish, but the experts seem to think he'll do better than he is predicting:

"So how fast could Armstrong cover 26.2 miles? His coach, Carmichael, says, "Lance will probably rip me when he hears this, but I don't think he'd run faster than 2:30 to 2:40." Allen says 2:20 to 2:30. Lucia says sub-2:20 but not sub-2:10. "What are those guys thinking?" asks Swain. "With his aerobic engine, Lance could run 2:10 or better.""

Runners World is the wikipedia of the running internets.

Seriously, though. It's a horrible magazine, catering to the weekend jogger/gallowalker.
