The woman world record marathon run speed is better than more than 80% of men who have never runned a marathon
It should be ran instead or runned, runned is supposed to be the past tense of running
I am estimating that at least 80% of men have not run a marathon in their entire life
I am just going to write a new poll
@shortstories Ok fair enough.
@shortstories "who have never eaten"
"who have never drunk"
"who have never seen"
This is why I went for "ran" to begin with, but it just doesn't sound right to me, after all, those don't say ate, drank or saw. There are two different past tenses and I think for run, the second one is "run".
As for "runned" and "running", I'm not sure I believe this to begin with, since "running" is the present-tense of "run", but moreover, because of that, I don't think it has any bearing here anyway.

@shortstories Definitely true. Marathons are tough. Most non-athletes couldn't do a half marathon without a few weeks training, and that's if you only include people who aren't morbidly obese.
The wording is a bit difficult but my agreement is to the following interpretation:
"Of the pool of men who have not run a marathon, 80% are slower than the woman's marathon world record".
