Have You/ Would you run a marathon?

andmark · 13-04-2008, 04:20 AM

I've never but would like to, what about you?

GIMH · 13-04-2008, 04:23 AM

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.

Josh · 13-04-2008, 04:28 AM

Would also like to.

BoyBrumby · 13-04-2008, 04:36 AM

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.

Smudge · 13-04-2008, 04:45 AM

Nah, might as well catch a train, IMO.

Besides, my shins are ****ed.

Only to win a girl back.

Googenheim · 13-04-2008, 07:18 AM

Considering I dislocated my right hip joint 30 minutes into my first ever attempt, no.

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.

Would do one on skis itbt.

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.

Run fat boy run.. After my ex dumped me she told me to go and watch it

And yes, I'd love to run a marathon

I've done a few 10km events

PhoenixFire · 13-04-2008, 02:17 PM

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.

Jungle Jumbo · 13-04-2008, 02:29 PM

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.
