By Julie Deardorff
Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO — Marathons have come a long way from the 1960s, when they were so elitist that women - who couldn't physically run 26.2 miles anyway, it was thought - were barred from competition. Back then, no self-respecting runner would walk the race if he could help it. Crawling could be heroic. But walking? Most would rather quit.

 Ahhh....guess who is considered the fastest distance runner of all-time, and guess who is the fastest My Next Race.com ambassador?
Note: Mario Iozzo is a former distance running star out of St. Mike's College (Toronto) and ex-distance coach at York University. He has been a regular contributor and supporter of My Next Race.com and now seems to be hanging with the best.
Good Karma Mario!
