Adam Yates may have parked his bike for the off-season, but he's not resting his legs. The British rider ran a marathon over the weekend, and a good one at that.

Yates, who finished third in Il Lombardia a month ago, took part in the Barcelona marathon on Sunday, not far from his home in Andorra, and broke the respected 3-hour barrier. According to the official results, Yates' net time was 2 hours 58 minutes 43 seconds, placing him 584th out of approximately 10,000 runners.

The winner clocked in at 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 1 second, while Eliud Kipchoge's world record was 2 hours, 1 minute, and 39 seconds.

Yates ran at a steady pace throughout, averaging 4:14 per km over the 42.195 km course.

However, this statistic may not be entirely reliable. Yates took a picture of his sports watch, which tracked his run, with a time of 2 hours 58 minutes 08 seconds and a total distance of 42.65 km. His average pace was 4:11/km.

"I'm going to focus on riding my bike," Yates joked in a social media post.

"Two weeks on the beach isn't the most ideal preparation, but I'm happy."

Yates' natural endurance seems to have carried over into the running world.

Wout Van Aert is known to wear a trainer in the off-season and during training camp. The Belgian champion recently ran the 10-mile race in Antwerp, clocking 1:11:11 at a pace of 4:25/km.

Tom Pidcock caused a stir earlier this year when he claimed to have run a 5k in 13:25.

One of the people who pointed out the error was Michael Woods of Israel Startup Nation, who was an elite-level middle-distance runner before turning into a professional cyclist.
