New standards for Olympic Trials Marathon?

For those Olympic marathon hopefuls, note that the USATF has reportedly upped the standards for qualifying for the men's trials. No more 'A' and 'B' standard, but a swift 2:19, according to Race Results Weekly. That's three minutes faster than the 2:22 you could coast through on.

Other ways to qualify: run a half-marathon at 1:05, or a 10K in 28:30.
