Marathon running is best suited for men who are 5'4-5'8 in height, and about 120-135 pounds. WHY WOULD YOU WATCH SOMEONE RUNNING 26 MILES IN 2 HOURS 20 MINTUES AND EXPECT THEM TO BE BIG? LOOOL

The endurance running hypothesis is the hypothesis that the evolution of certain human characteristics can be explained as adaptations to long distance running. The hypothesis suggests that endurance running played an important role for early hominins in obtaining food. Researchers have proposed that endurance running began as an adaptation for scavenging and later for persistence hunting.

Kipsang is 1.82m and is a former marathon record holder with 2.03.23.
Kimetto is 1.82 and is the current WR holder for marathon with 2.02.57
Height is not as big as a factor as other thing in running.
