No. I helped people train for marathons, and I did up to 20 mile runs myself in training, but never signed up for one myself. I didn't have too many problems on the long runs. I am one of those people who is blessed with endurance but lacking in speed.
Yes, to the bathroom, at an inopportune time.
Nope but my husband does and he can’t stop talking about it.

@BloviatingBuffoon You married a good man.
😃
@GeniUs probably but he still talks a lot about it. I support him anyway. I go along with him and our son when he joins the big marathons. I’m also glad it’s a healthy habit.

Its better driving in a car apparently

@Justenjoyit That poor dog is prolly rushing to the bathroom at Grace Towers, completely unaware that it's further than a marathon......

Angelctt · F

OldBrit · 61-69, M
@Angelctt that's still impressive
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
I did a 5k bubble run wearing a tutu. Does that count?
sarahcupcake · 36-40, F
I've only done half marathons
Does the five meter sprint to the bathroom count??? 🤔🤔🤔
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@HootyTheNightOwl It does if you do it 8,439 times in a row.
@windinhishair That sounds too much like hard work to me...
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@HootyTheNightOwl A marathon isn't easy, especially the last 10,000 meters.
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
I did one and that was enough. The cardiac conditioning was fine but the training and the race itself took too much of a toll on muscles and joints. I battled cramps on my long training runs and in the last 5 miles of the race itself. Wanted to do it in 4 hours but it was more like 4:20. It also took me forever to feel I could run normally again after the race. I’m much happier with half marathons.
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
No

A few 21 km ones....
It was half the experience
KatyO83 · 41-45, F
Nope furthest is a 10 miler
GeniUs · 56-60, M
Yes I managed to complete one (I also have a DNF and a DNS after paying to enter). They only get bad if you worry about the time it takes let's face it you could walk that distance in about 7 hours, include a bit of jogging and you'll be easily under 6 hours.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
No - I was fairly good at short-distance sprints in PE at school but that's all. I much prefer walking. I have though completed one-day, 50-mile road walks. Couldn't do it now!
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Running days are decades long over. I mostly walk now. Up to ten miles.

Ran mostly shorter distances back then 440 (402m), 1320 (1.2km) and mile (1.6 km). Last in 58 seconds.
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
I ran one when I was in my 20s, in training I had run as far as 18 miles with no problem but the additional 8 were far more difficult than I imagined.
HumanEarth · F
Only once when I was in early 20s for a blood drive

I don't remember how long it was, how long it took, but I did made to the finish and honored my pledges that sponsored me.
BigImo · 26-30, F
A few times. It's really not as difficult as people think. I try to run a half marathon at least once a week before work
SW-User
No and regret I never did. I challeged my brother to run a marathon with me when we were young but he just ignored the idea. Can't now my right knee is in very bad shape
i'm not sure this is a beneficial activity to undertake. The strsses on the body are severe. FiveK runs seem morre sensible.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Nope -- closest I ever came was the daily one-mile run before high school football practice.
WandererTony · 56-60, M
I did a 10k 4 years back. But then Covid happened. I am not too sure now whether I can repeat that one!!
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Absolutely NOT.

My daughter ran London marathon a couple of years ago.
A Marathon is a car brand used as an English taxi. Right?
JovialMoose · 51-55, M
God made me a sprinter and sports person. I only run when chased.
saintsong · 41-45, F
Nahh I just walk to the store...
No, I've never managed a gas station

RunTheJulz · 46-50, F

Dacrowman · 70-79, M

Tlbhtx · F
No just 5ks
Ew, I don’t run. I speed walk.
smiler2012 · 61-69
@SW-User 😆i am overweight and unfit health wise a marathon would finish me off lol
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
used to do several events when I was younger, most were in Germany when I was stationed over there between deployments. Good way to meet/hookup with sexy toned babes (plenty of stamina too... 😇)
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
I get breathless even if i run in dreams
slorollin · 41-45, M
Nah, hell I wouldn't even run if someone started Chad me 😂😂
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
I go short distances. Once I ran half marathon distance and I barely survived.
@pancakeslam I run short distances too. Yesterday I ran to the bathroom.....three times.
Allelse · 36-40, M
I remember something like that as a little kid and hating every minute of it, getting screamed at by the sports teacher because I didn't give a shit and just wanted to walk with my friends, or talk with the girls.
DDonde · 31-35, M
No. I've begun to really enjoy running over the past few years but I'm not at that point yet. They sound brutal.
empanadas · 31-35, M
I can't walk two feet without rolling
Nanori · F
@empanadas ahahhaha 😂
