not just that he did it for the children but for running the marathon.
 
That's not bad. I have tendenites, so I can relate. I ran the half-marathon in september. I ran a 1:29---6:48/mi. pace

Ditto.

He did good for charity and the children. Imo thats worth more then most people would do. He could have donated a lot of his wealth and he 'may' do so but this was good. More money raised for a charity is better then a guy dissing another guy on AT about it.....

Good job P. Diddy.

I'd say it's not bad considering he didn't train much and he had severe tendinitis in his knee.

Ditto.

That time would whoop most people for 26miles.

My teacher's husband could do it in 3hrs 😱 😎 Not world class but pretty fvcking fast!

Wow, that's a pretty good clip over 13 miles. Congrats.
 
Yeah, this was on TV yesterday, very admirable quest he set out for himself...I'm glad that he went through with it and even exceeded his expectations. Good for him, and good for the kids.
 
You know, I've never been impressed by celebrities doing this sort of thing. They'll profess a carring for some cause but instead of ponying up their own susbstantial jack for said cause they'll do something that's worthless in practical terms as a form of getting other people to pay for it. It's like saying "I care, but not that much.". Just my take on it anyway. I will say that I don't know if "diddy" coughed up any of his own cash for this because the article doesn't say but I sort of doubt it.

Btw: I will admit that him completing it is impressive. There's no way in hell I could do that.
 
Well, there's a lot of celebrities that can simply toss money in a bucket, but Diddy actually went out of his way in his hectic schedule to get his ass out there and do something.

If my calculations are correct, that's a constant pace of about 7.5 MPH. The average human walks at about 4 MPH, so he just about doubled the speed that most people walk at. I believe humans can RUN as fast as 12-14 MPH, so that might give you an idea about the pace he was able to keep for 26 miles. I know that I would be LUCKY if I was able to keep a pace of a BRISK WALK even halfway through (I'm not in bad condition) so for 2 months training, he has accomplished a lot.
