Have You/ Would you run a marathon?

No, used to run but stopped when I was about 17 so never did anything beyond about 10 miles

My Dad ran loads of them, though, all over the world. Had a best time of 2h19m, which is pretty good, this was in the 80s and early 90s.

No/No.

Used to detest anything over 400m at school (used to dawdle around with the fat & nerdy kids until I put a kick on in the last 100 to make sure I wasn't last) & promised myself I'd never run long distances once when I no longer had to.

I have run three half marathons at 15 and 16 but not a full marathon, but at the time it was because I had to be 18 to run a full marathon.

In my school PE lessons we usually have a few laps around my school's field (which is big) about a mile run. I mostly enjoy it.

Used to do alot of long distance running at school, think the longest i did was 8 miles. However, my love life got in the way, and i've been faithful to the beer ever since.

Nowadays pretty much collapse if i do 2 miles. Need to get back into some sort of shape that isnt round.

Done the equivalent to a half marathon once, found it pretty tough, but that was probably due to the fact that I had done precisely zero training for it. Would contemplate doing one in the future.

Yeah, I'd do one in the future, so long as I could find time to train. I'll do a half marathon when at Uni, I think, just decided now.

Done a couple of 10km fun runs. Could see myself doing a longer one once I'm fitter (get myself a montage for one...).

Haha awta. Hated the 400 as well though, preferred all the field events (except for Highjump).
