Marathon Man

As of November 1, 2006, Dane Rauschenberg had run 43 marathons in 43 weeks. That's one every weekend. His average time has been 3 hours and 24 minutes. However, one of the marathons was really hard. It took him 5 hours and 17 minutes.

What would his average be if he hadn't run that marathon?

Extra: What would his time have to be in the 44th marathon to shave one minute off his average?

Think we made this guy up? Read about Dane here: http://www.fiddy2.org/
