Matt, No they wouldn`t.
I am pretty sure a most successful marathon runners would manage a 100 mile cycle ride, as they are aerobically fit enough and have the mental stamina to do it. They probably wouldn`t ride as fast as a club rider and would certainly be uncomfortable.
Running a marathon is a whole different experience on the body, especially the legs. Even running a marathon slowly is tough.
I have ran marathons and ridden long distances. Give me a bike, anyday.
You cannot compare the two events and I don`t think that this is a serious post trying to do that. It is more of a what if!!
