Anyone here ran a marathon?

[snuggleycutejc]

I really wanted to do just one time. So, I practiced in my history lol, well never did a Boston Marathon, did an unknown race, didn't come in the top, was extremely tired and very thirsty, nice prize. Do you know how to run a long distance or are you a sprinter.

I crashed on Icy steps and I can't even run to the bathroom any more!

i have never ran a marathon, but i think it would be a lot of fun

Nah...and don't plan to. However, I do admire people who have the stamina (and discipline) to do so.

Many years ago I ran a 10K race.  That is a far cry from a marathon, but it was fun.  My knees would never take that much jogging/running now.

I once ran after the ice cream truck!

Run....ning?  The best I can do is some jogging on the treadmill.  However I know two people that completed the Boston Marathon yesterday.

I have trouble walking so running is out of the question.
running to me doesn't even look like an enjoyable sport.So many runners look like they are in pan

[southernhorizons]

Me? No way! I can't even run a mile, probably not even half a mile.

Running is no fun because my face turns red and I am positively exhausted afterward.

I ran a Marathon 15 years ago.
I trained with Team in Training & raised money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
I would never do a marathon again, it was hard on my body to recover..  but I am currently in training for a half marathon in October.

If you are planning to run a marathon & not with a group, there are training schedules available online  for free.  Good Luck

No and never thought about running one.  I only enjoy walking.

I really want to one of these days. We'll see.

Only ran one when i was a kid and one in college just to support... something Lol I can't recall what kind of marathon was it, it was for charity though that's all I can recall.

Yes, I have not only run 30 marathons, but I have completed over 20 ultra marathons (distances over 50K - 31 miles). I have completed runs up to 100 miles. I am not fast, definitely a distance runner. Sprinting is not my thing.

If you want to run a marathon, you need to train for it.
