From the 'water is wet' school of 'who woulda thought', the more mileage you put into running the faster your marathon result will be
graph of marathon finishing times from runkeeper data compared with the miles/week they log
http://www.runnersworld.com/race-training/runners-with-more-training-miles-finish-marathons-faster
Based on the 16-week period prior to a marathon [for those that ran one]
We also looked at what percentage of different mileage groups had finished by certain times. Turns out, 62 percent of runners who averaged 31 to 38 miles per week ran a four-hour marathon, or faster. By contrast, only 8.5 percent of those who logged less than six miles per week were done by the four-hour mark. In fact, at any given time, whether it was the three-hour, five-hour, or six-hour mark, more runners from the higher mileage groups had finished.
*on a side note there goes any goal I would have had of finishing sub 4h, I think
**on another side note, I like data-driven studies more than anecdotes from 'fast people'

That's spot on with my own performance. But there are other factors such as age, BMI, temp, speed training and related cardio conditioning. All can influence results by as much as %15.

sure the data can easily be broken down further, but as I understand it this data set was normalized for everything they could control [including age]

I still think there's more going on.
Like quality of training probably matters more than quantity. Of course you need to be able to hand the distance, but 31 miles of quality runs is better than 44 miles of junk.
I mean I bet you could draw a strong correlation between years running and marathon times( to a point).
You could probably draw correlation to parents 5k time too
But in the end, I couldn't imagine running a single race that's more than double my weekly average. Sounds pretty miserable. /contemplates 50km despite saying that.
