Any serious runner should be able to run a mile in 4.30 ... the world record is 3.43! And 26 x 4 1/2 = 1h 57m which is under the marathon record.
He'd lose if he offered that bet to anyone who was genuinely an athlete.

If you believe this you are very naive.
EDIT: Huck Seed once accepted a bet that he could not run a 4:30 mile with a year of training. He ran 4:36. That is both impressive and a lot farther from 4:30 than you think.
