Republican Paul Ryan now says he didn't run a marathon in less than three hours as he claimed in a nationally broadcast interview.<br />
<br />
The vice presidential hopeful acknowledged Saturday he had misstated his marathon time by more than an hour. He released a statement correcting the record after Runner's World magazine found evidence he had completed one marathon and finished in just over four hours.<br />
<br />
Ryan told radio host Hugh Hewitt last month he had run a "two hour and fifty-something" marathon. That's a pace of less than 7 minutes per mile for the 26.2 mile course - extremely fast for recreational runners.<br />

Ryan said he should have rounded his marathon time to four hours, not three.
