    never ran a marathon although i was a good middle distance runner in school.

    the marathon you really want to run in is the Marathon-Athens run, retrace the footsteps of Phidippedes and the route of the very first marathon.


    next trips
    USA/DXB August.

      Take a leak before you start.

        I can't imagine running a marathon - far too much effort. I'd probably end up injuring my knee or something.

            Nice to see a fellow Kiwi though!!!
            I walked across an empty land
            I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
            I felt the earth beneath my feet
            Sat by the river and it made me complete

              I have run in several 10 Kilometer runs (6 miles) and one 10 Miler race. (Virginia Ten Miler)

              It takes a lot of training to get to teh 10 mile endurance mark.. but to haul for 26 mile...wow. I would like to get up to that in time.. But right now, i have college and such to bother with. Hopefully i will be able to train and run a Marathon in my Mid-20's


              If you have any questions... i might be able to help.

                Steve? What made you think there would be more marathon runners in an aviation forum? I don't get the link.....

                And I can say my advice is sound.

                  Keep in mind that the guy collapsed and died the moment he finished!!
