I agree that if you want to tell someone you didn't stop during the marathon for a break or to walk that you should train for it. What this post demonstrates is that it is possible to complete something that most people avoid out of fear.
- js2 16y agoThe marathon should not be feared, but it should be respected. 26 miles 385 yards is a long way. One should also be aware of hyponatraemia which tends to happen more often to the ill-prepared who may not be aware of its cause. (Losing lots of fluid via sweat and replacing it only with water.) Anyway, completing a marathon is quite an endeavor and it seems to me it's worth doing well, not just to say you did it.
- john_shanks 16y agoI agree completely. I didn't do sports in high school or college aside from some casual fencing, but I've started running in the last few months. I've been surprised at how much of a mental activity it really is.
