Anyone ever ran a Marathon?

I never did, but is on my bucket list. One thing that discourages me is, it's f-king LONG. Some routes are 15-20 miles long.

Surprisingly, I use to be friends with this Somali guy who loved anything to do with running. He would even take time off from his job so he can run in some marathon in another state.


LooL the 30 minutes I stay on the threadmill for my cardio is hard enough without adding anything else to it.

I got it on my bucket list too. Its actually something I really want to do, so I'm working on my cardio, looking to hit a 5K with good timing in a few months, and maybe hit a 10K in a few years. C25K really works and that's what I'm on.

I never ran one, but went with one of my friends who was running. It was fun and would def want to do that.

Once, I participated a 10k half marathon that was a fundraising for a children's hospital and it was the most challenging competition I ever competed. After 2 months of intensive training by myself, I finished one of the last 20% of the contestants. I should have started slow, even considering with my high speed, many dozens of people passed me like a lightening bolt and finished way before me. Though my goal was just to finish the marathon because I didn't want to disappoint my colleagues and friends who sponsored me on behalf of a kid who was a patient at that hospital, I realised from others that it requires marathon specific nutrition and a good tactical marathon training by an expert, or from a marathon manual to finish better than I did. So many (serious) amateur marathon runners, but it was fun.
