Who has ran a marathon?

After checking out the NYC marathon and seeing lance armstrong run it it kind of gave me some inspiration to try one. I think it would be a great accomplishment.

I sincerely doubt you'll find many (if any) marathoners here. The physique of the average marathon runner is pretty much the antithesis of what most of us are looking to achieve.

My dad just ran one in Sept, and I'll tell you what, you need to train your ass off to complete it. It is one hell of an accomplishment though, I was very proud of him...

I had a marathon inspiration a year ago and started training for it. I dropped from 190 to 175, so I decided to run the half marathon instead. I was able to cut back on my training, put some weight back on, and still feel that sense of accomplishment. It may not sound like it, but 13 miles is still a hell of a distance to run. Good luck!

See sig, ran it last weekend. Lost some strength, but working back up pretty quickly, lost a good bit of bodyfat during training.

I've watched others run marathons. Does that count?

*shudders at the thought of so much running*

I haven't but would love to do so. My family used to run them pretty regularly. I was too young to train with them, and they quit running once I grew up. I'd also like to do a triathlon some day as well. Cardio is my favorite thing to do.

Very well done.
