Marathon training

[Laufen]

Hey y'all. Are any of you marathon runners? I'm bumping up the mileage to get ready for some races this summer and fall.

Anyone interested in some long weekend group runs?

Did the "Island Marathon" in 82' and the Marine Corps Marathon a few years later. Punched my ticket but I wish you well. Is this your first?

I did the Honolulu Marathon and it was actually pretty fun. After 4 knee surgeries I'm a walker/limper now.

I can run but not too far and not too fast. How long of a marathon you talking about doing?

There is only one length, 26.2 miles.

It's been a while. I've been doing lots of half marathons and 10k's. The half is a great distance, just thought I would mix it up a bit. The biggest hurdle is time for long runs.

Oh ok. I didn't know if you meant 5k, 10k, half marathon or full. I honestly can't imagine running 26.2 miles all at once or even in 1 week. My knees are way too bad.
