The New York City marathon is on Sunday .. 37,000 or so starters including the guy from Texas ..

The New York Times has been running, so to speak, a lot of stories on the event and marathons in general this week. It costs nothing to register online to read the stories.

The latest story is titled: Everything you know about marathons is wrong.

But none of that is true, researchers said at a recent marathon medicine and science conference in Chicago.
