Does Misstated Marathon Claim Prove Paul Ryan Is Dishonest? (POLL)

Paul Ryan Says He Misstated Marathon Claim After Runners World Calls Him Out

Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan now says he didn’t run a marathon in less than three hours as he recently claimed in a nationally broadcast interview.

Ryan admitted Saturday that he misspoke and unintentionally padded his finishing time by more than an hour. The VP hopeful issued a statement correcting the record following a report by Runner’s World Magazine that challenged Ryan’s claim. The magazine found evidence that Ryan has completed one marathon, in 1990, and finished in just over four hours, not three.

Appearing on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show last month, Ryan said he had run a “two hour and fifty-something” marathon. As the Associated Press points out, that’s a pace of less than 7 minutes per mile for the 26.2 mile course — an extremely speedy time for recreational runners. NPR provides this transcript of Ryan’s conversation with Hewitt.

H[ugh] H[ewitt]: Are you still running?

P[aul] R[yan]: Yeah, I hurt a disc in my back, so I don’t run marathons anymore. I just run ten miles or yes.

HH: But you did run marathons at some point?

PR: Yeah, but I can’t do it anymore, because my back is just not that great.

HH: I’ve just gotta ask, what’s your personal best?

PR: Under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something.

HH: Holy smokes. All right, now you go down to Miami University …

PR: I was fast when I was younger, yeah.”

“The race was more than 20 years ago, but my brother Tobin — who ran Boston last year — reminds me that he is the owner of the fastest marathon in the family and has never himself ran a sub-three,” Ryan said in a statement. “If I were to do any rounding, it would certainly be to four hours, not three. He gave me a good ribbing over this at dinner tonight.”

Nearly every media outlet has since picked up the story and ran with it.

Further, some runners posting on the Runner’s World website are fuming mad at Ryan’s claim, many of them posting their own personal records with date and time.

“Let’s see…..he lied repeatedly in his convention speech the other night, but to lie about a race time? Even more disgusting…….Maybe he ran a sub three the day Obama closed that plant in Wisconsin……pathetic,” one reader posted.

“Someone who blatantly lies about something that is so easily verifiable; a public figure who, of course, is going to get fact-checked, can only be one thing: pathological,” another person wrote.

Others though scoffed at the Runner’s World and other media outlets for spending so much time “fact-checking” a two decade old marathon time.

“Fun to see how much effort is put in to “fact checking” a 20 year old marathon time. For someone who was a racer and turned into a runner, I think it could be easy to forget your race times,” someone wrote.

What do you think? Is the media overreacting to Ryan’s gaffe or does it prove that Ryan is dishonest? Take our poll:

  Wouldn’t it be nice if there was even just one politician that didn’t lie? Yes this is a trivial thing to lie about especially with the monumental problems facing our country. We all know Obama does nothing but lie. I sometimes wish I was still young and naive and believed politicians actually cared about the people and were trying to make things better by serving the people. I now know what a load bull scat that is.

So what if Ryan misspoke about his marathon time? that is his personal life after all.

  I ran my first and only ever five mile run about 7 years ago. It was a very proud moment of my life. I couldn’t tell you what the time was,but if I had to guess off the top of my head I might say it was 20 minutes or so. Point is,If someone asked my I could get it wrong easily. I bet all of you folks out there claiming holier than thou status have never ever once misspoke or gotten something wrong. Am I right? I thought so. I’ll bet you have never ever once padded some fact in your favor either or perhaps confused one or more events with another. Suppose he ran a sub three in some other facet and had a momentary confusion of thought. There is a huge differnce between an outright lie and a mis spoken set of “facts”.

  See, it was a perfect example, my five mile/20 minute estimate was waaay off because I am waaay bad at math in my head. I figured it out after my post and it would obviously equate to 4 minute miles. A feat I am no where near capable of. In reality it was probably closer to an hour with 9 to 10 minute miles.

  to pad your time in a running race 20 years ago is comparable to a president lying about every thing in his life..no college records, no Pastor,no college professors,no girlfriends(YET remember the story of Ryan’s girlfriend,have feeling obama’s will be white thats why,mark my words
  i want you readers to look for something..
  is it a coincident that every argument and fact checking is first put out there by the obama campaign???…they thought for sure the republican would bring up the dog eating so the libs found the dog on top of the car..
  the jobs over seas because they thought that republicans would bring up the stimulus money going to foreign countries and the closing of plants(SOLINDRA)
  i can predict whats coming next for Romney just by looking at Obamas past and actions.
  everything from obamacare to gay marriage to the war on woman..
  why war on woman??
  Romney has a record of hiring woman to high positions and knows that Mitt’s marriage makes Obama’s marriage look pathetic.. it is standard bait and switch
  see if you can come up with the double standards

  Was he called on it before he corrected the time or after? If he misstated it to show how great he was then his character comes into question. I am so niave to think he doesn’t lie, he won’t lie and will always be honest with us. He is a politician so we should hold him to the same standards as Nobama… We would be raking him over the coals for this and you guys know it. It was a stupid, 20 year old lie off by an hour but still, I remember my longest jump for triple jump in my life, and I remember the most points scored in a single game for basketball, those are both minimal compared to actually training for, and running a marathon. Razz him, let him know we will be fact checking everything but don’t let him slide with a slap on the wrist. This site is supposed to be factual news. Even if it hurts our conservative support, report it. We all know the dems are self destructing.
  
  If Ryan came out and said, oh, I had a brain fart and mistook my time and corrected it before he was called on it then let it go. If someone else did, then he deserves the punishment.

  Most people embellish on themselves, usually without even realizing it. The left will jump on just about anything to trash a Republican. I do not care about his speed in running, I just care about the speed in which the debt is brought down and the speed that the spending will be cut.
  My biggest problem is voting for Romney after the blatant violations of freedom at the state level primary and caucuses. To take away the peoples voice from these important election events is more akin to socialized politics. Everyone here should be writing their representatives at the state a =nd federal levels to voice their disgust in this. If they do not repeal these rule changes, I believe Romney will lose. Do your part and help get these rule changes overturned.

  That’s funny… They make him out to be a complete lier when he doesn’t accurately recollect something he did 20 years ago. I used to run in the military, for the longest time I was telling people who asked my best 2 mile time was in the high 10′s…later when going thru some old military docs digging for my DD214, I came across my records and in fact my best time was in the high 11′s. Then I remembered that to be correct…totally innocent mistake. This president is lying daily about who his real father is (his biological father is frank marshal Davis) and yet Ryans run time much like Mitts 1040′s is headline news and a huge scandal. The left is just wrong on all the issues they are childish and just plain dumb.

  Hey Blazers, To me it shows that he is just into himself so much that he tries to make himself look better than what even he thinks he is. He voted for the bailouts, the stimulus, the Patriot Act, the NDAA and his budget that he introduced does nothing to keep us from going over the cliff! Now that the corrupt RNC has pushed Dr. Paul out of the picture, there is only one left that would do the right things for our country, Gary Johnson. I have been telling all of you that spew out your hatred of Ron Paul and accusing us Paul supporters of looking at him as though he is the messiah, that this is not all about Ron Paul, but about Liberty. The Liberty movement will continue, we will take the GOP by storm over the next decade and will infiltrate at all levels. The progressive era of the GOP will soon be over, you will thank us later.

  TO ANY PAUL SUPPORTER OUT THERE (STILL): I LOVE IT when i hear one of you say “I’m a Man of Principle” and “I could only vote for someone who shares my convictions”….here’s the answer to both:
  A Man of any Principle in the US of A would want to protect the US of A and hopefully would have enough sense to know that never before,never, has the US of A been so infiltrated with the perfect storm of enemies: Islam and Communism. To the point that if an AMERICAN LOVING PATRIOT does NOT win this election, it’s all over. Without BECK/ TEA PARTY/9/12rs and yes PAULBOTS, Obama would have had us hog-tied in the summer of 2009 (with the health care bill written by the Anti-American Communists/Socialists over 10 years ago…just waiting for their chance)…. so “MEN OF PRINCIPLE.. .you have a choice: Give up your Country or Fight for it”…then IF YOU were unsuccessful in getting your guy elected, are you going to give the election to the Communist? You can rant and rave all you want to about the GOP, but you’ve never come up with alternative, paid the dues, been in the local elections through the State, to the Fed. A vote for ANYONE OTHER THAN ROMNEY is a vote for OBAMA. Now the second part: Some one who shares your Convictions? Sure, great. What good is that going to be when every liberty you’ve ever known is gone? Petition Romney/Ryan for time to present your views but support them. IF not it won’t matter . USA will be gone. Ask any old Communist.

  No one tells the absolute truth all the time!!! We each have our own perspective which effects how we remember stuff, especially 20-year-old stuff!!!!
  
  How important is this in the “Grand Scheme of Things?” If Paul routinely remembers things of consequence that simply do not ring true, perhaps we should be concerned. HOWEVER, if will take him literally years to catch up with the “If you like your health care, you can keep it”-In-Chief.
  
  This POTHUS routinely tells his version of the truth on a daily basis. In fact, one has to wonder if he just doesn’t have the facts or whether he truly lives in another world of warped mirrors and clowns. I would imagine that it takes no conscious effort on his part al all to “make up” what he WISHES were true and speak it as the truth! “A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” and that quote, folks is from Lenin. I have come to believe that our POTHUS subscribes to this philosophy, and quite frankly wouldn’t know the truth if it bit in on his tush!
  
  That being said, I don’t know about you but I have had enough “lying from the White House” to last me the rest of my life. It seems like the POTHUS opens his mouth, out come words, and the first thing I do is wonder if what he says could possibly be true. For that very reason the Democrats will seize upon EVERY opportunity to paint an ugly face on Romney/Ryan . . . remember this is a contest of wills, and the Dems have NOTHING to lose except the White House!

Stop using fear to tell people how to vote and start using facts,figures, and records to make your argument.

  Ever since I found this site and lurked for quite some time before joining, I have read far, far too many CYA posts for some absolute magnanimous outright lies by the likes of 0bama, Biden, Holder, Napalitano, and this list could go on. We are told that there is no reason to pay attention to this, or we are racists. etc, etc. If this all that any of you lefties can dredge up, then have at it. You will look as petty as you actually are. Still, I do say that if Paul actually did lie, then he should admit it and allow us to hold him accountable. Otherwise I can see this as an actual faux pas.

  Just like Ann Romney hasn’t worked a day in her life.
  
  Just like there were only rich white racists at the Republican Convention.
  
  Just like the Tea Baggers, secretly mixing the blood of poor Muslim babies in their morning grits.
  
  Just like Biden said, that Republicans want to “put y’all back in chains”.
  
  Just like 9/11 was a put-up job.

  If you’re worried about a dog story from 45 years ago and Ryans marathon record you might enjoy this story. These last 2 paragraphs are a good example.
  Barack Obama may not know it yet, but he will never be more than a footnote in the saga of history’s most open, most prosperous, and most successful experiment with freedom and liberty.
  Obama may envision a legacy laden with accolades and accomplishment, but he will never be more than a demagogue — who was lying to a nation and himself when he thought he was bigger than the dream.

  1. Aren’t you going overboard? He lied about a marathon. I just don’t see how bad that is, even ‘lie’ is pretty strong.
  
  2. Let’s not defend Paul Ryan tooth and nail either. He hasn’t yet earned our trust. He’s just WAYYY better than the other guy running. That’s all.

  That is a liberal talking point….Biden & OBAMA and their entire administration LIE all day long, & that’s no lie. He was 19 orr 20, give me a break. It’s funny how they will move heaven & earth to LEARN the truth about Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan & Sarah Palin but aren’t the least bit curious about this unknown, obama. This shows just how many are SEALED http://theulstermanreport.com/2012/05/20/who-is-barack-obama-image/
  
  I think that Paul Ryan is respected by his peers because he is dedictated to his job & does that with integrity.

  What does “WILLING” mean to a BS follower (BARRY SOTERO) who stated that he had never gone by another name for the Illinois bar. Willing for a progressive means that no matter the means, the process or number of lies that need to be told, must be told to attempt to convince one and all, that what they say is the truth! On the other hand “WILLING” for a Conservative means that they are able to accept that all humans are not perfect, and simple mistakes of 20 year old memories “WILL” happen. But when they do they will admit to the mistake, apologize and then move on with the promise to hopefully not make a silly “BOO BOO” again. So to sum it up a “Willing” progressive must lie to maintain all the lies of their agenda, but a Conservative is not lying when a simple misspoken statement is made, so there is nothing to cover for or perpetuation of the previous lies, which makes is so easy to just say OOPS! and sorry for the slip on an actual happening. For being honest is much easier that being dishonest, as there are no lies to keep remembering and organized in your brain so you know what you said and to who you said it to. So for the progressives it is pretty hard to remember 100 years of lies and erase all the failures in that time period. A conservative lives with truth, honor, respect and faith every day and to “WILLFULLY” decieve anyone on anything does not happen, but simple mistakes and to be “WILLING” to apologize comes easy. This explains what WILL

The desperation on the left is becoming a comedy show. The progressives are in panic mode because they know they are about to lose big time. America is awake and about to clean house. The fundamental transformation of America is imploding and the moon bats are starting to lash out. When they know they know they have lost they will resort to desperate violent measures.

BO sits in a church for over 20 years pastored by a man spewing hate speech from the pulpit and we are told that it’s not an issue. PR spins a little fish tale about a marathon over 20 years ago and he’s considered dishonest. Are they really grasping at straws that desperately?

  I ran a PR 5K a week ago and when another runner asked me my time I honestly couldn’t tell him if it was 21:28 or 22:58. One is a pretty good time for a 40-something mom of 6 and the other is really great time for someone who doesn’t have hours upon hours to train each day.
  
  Give the guy a break, he is only running from one state to another giving speeches and shaking hands running for the 2nd highest office in the land. It isn’t as if he forgot how many states there are in the US or what religion he is a member of.

My cousin set school, county and league records on his way to a state basketball title and a D1 scholarship. The point being that those things which seemed to mean the world to a teenager a quarter century ago have virtually no consequence to a man with vast professional responsibilities and who is also responsible for raising 5 children in Obama’s disaster of an economy.

  This honest mistake or lie is nothing. Where Ryan losing my trust is talking about natural law and our rights, but has voted consistently against them. Honest men do NOT do this. This is what the media should be focused on, not something silly/trivial like how fast he ran a marathon. Because they won’t report on the important stuff shows how trust worthy they are as well.

  @JUSTANGRY I completely agree with you. You will not see any talk of Ryan’s record on here because it is completely indefensible to anyone who claims to be a fiscal conservative or a defender of liberty. It’s the same tactic as democrats,ignore the record and be brainwashed by the rhetoric. I truly believe these people would vote for Al Gore AND Nancy Pelosi if they put an R in front of their name and gave a speech with the rhetoric republicans want to here.As they say “anybody but Obama” and those two fit that qualification.

Much ado about nothing – Gaybama said his election would lower the levels of the sea, would employ millions of Americans, finish the fence on our southern border, reduce our deficit, bring the masses together as one and teach the world to sing in perfect harmony (okay, he didn’t say anything about singing…)

The levels of the sea remain the same, millions are now unemployed, the fence isn’t even close to being finished, our deficit is out of control, he’s separated the wheat from the chaff, causing Democrats to abandon the DemonicRat Party to the Left, thus causing our people to be more politically divided – and he’s in charge?!?

Why are we even talking about Ryan, when Gaybama has yet to be vetted?!?

  It is unfortunate that we are even hearing this controversy but it is Ryan’s own fault. When the interviewer asked his time he should have come up with a selfefacing quip. People that exercise where times are important (running, swimming, cycling) to show improvement know and remember the times they did in official sanctioned events….they just do…especially those people with extraordinary mathematical abilities like Ryan. For him to say he ran a marathon in a sub 3 hour time was a deliberate attempt to portray himself superior athletically…like a 180 lb guy who benches 270 lbs or can swim a 1 00 meter freestyle in under a minute as a 30 year old. Not world class records but stellar for us everyday mortals.

Obama said that if the gubment got involved with the plant, it could run for 100 years, (also on video tape). I’m not quite understanding WHY Obama didn’t go back to the plant, after he was President, and help. It was less than a month after the plant started shutting down. No cronies of Obama at this plant?

  @soybomb315_II,
  
  EVEN if you give Obama the lack of articulate speech (that he was talking about building the ROADS), Obama’s STILL wrong…
  
  First, if having a road in front of one’s business is THE REASON the business is successful, then EVERY business with a road should be successful (and, we KNOW they’re not) – so there HAS to be SOMETHING ELSE that accounts for the business’ success (right?)!
  
  Second, GOVERNMENT doesn’t have ONE DIME that it doesn’t TAKE from WE, THE TAXPAYERS – so GOVERNMENT DIDN’T build that road, EITHER! It was WE, THE PEOPLE! Also, in MANY communities (dare I say MOST), Government CONTRACTS with PRIVATE INDUSTRY to actually DO the work – so even THERE, Obama is WRONG (as are YOU)!

He wouldnt be the first person to overstate his atheliticism, but an hour overstated? thats a BIG overstatement. Its not like its a “rounding” error and he should know better. When you are running for office, you’d better be accurate because unless you’re a democrat, you are sure to be double and triple checked. There is nothing at all shabby about a four hour Marathon. The guy is probably in terrific shape, but claiming to be that fast is sure to raise an eyebrow and the guy is supposed to be good with numbers. Maybe it was the shorter Marathon, in wich case, he’d better get back on a treadmill. If this is the worst they have on him, maybe he should challenge Obama to a Marathon. Obama has never worked three hours fifty something in his life at anything. Smoke breaks included.

  This is beyond a shadow of a doubt the dirtiest US Presidential campaign ever. This is on the level of pre-highschool. It doesn’t matter what your recollection is about an event that happened over twenty years ago. The liberal media is desperate to find any dirt they can find on the Republican ticket because they have no fresh ideas. The Conservative Republicans should be attacking everyone of the ideas coming out of the Democratic camp and suggest a completely different road to recovery.True Unemployment is near an alltime high so the Dems suggest govt. jobs, the deficit is insane so they say tax the rich, good immigrants are trying to get into the country but the left caters to the illegals and now the war against traditional marriage The rhetoric is all socialistic garbage that will destroy the country.
