     Mark Zuckerberg Smokes Murph Workout ... in Less than 40 Min (Fitness Volt)News report2023-05-29

     Zuckerberg's own Facebook caption on Memorial Day (Monday 2023-05-29), quoted by Fitness Volt. He calls Murph a yearly Memorial Day tradition. Business Insider reported his comment that he did a partitioned Murph (smaller alternating sets), not the Rx order, and that his Rx time would be slower. Fortune (2023-05-31) says 'under 40 minutes'. Some commenters questioned the timing. Effort: timed self-challenge done for time, treated as max. Changed from effort unknown and confidence medium: the quote is now his own words. No time found for other years (2026 post gave none).

     Max or PRAge 31-32, Facebook CEO, running 365 miles in 2016Fastest mile of his 2016 'Year of Running'

     “Zuckerberg wrote that he ran his fastest mile (1,609m) of 2016 in 5:58”

     Is Mark Zuckerberg faster than you? (Canadian Running, reprinted by My Best Runs)News report2016medium confidence

     Dated from his 2016 Facebook post on reaching 365 miles (July 14, 2016): fastest mile of 2016 up to then. Canadian Running's own pages say the same (5:58) but time out for the checker, so the My Best Runs reprint is the source. One reprint of a 2016 Runner's World piece gives 5:53, so confidence is medium. Probably a training-run split, not a race.
