    The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes.

    “Fastest” does not mean the best endurance. You would be looking at the “longest”.

      There have been several people, men and women who run a marathon every day for months or even years on end. In that sense there is no upper limit, but those people almost certainly all have a genetic mutation which most people don’t that prevents lactic acid buildup.
