Anyone ran a marathon / half-marathon?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone here has run in a marathon or half-marathon. There is a 10-mile race in October that I'm thinking of signing up for. I think it will be good to have an actual goal to work towards. Currently, I'm running a lot, but I'm not really focused on one objective.

I ran a sprint-distance crosscountry triathlon a couple years back. Used to do 10-mile runs regularly in the Corps. What do you need to know, specifically? I might be able to help. Also, there are plenty of websites about endurance training.

I've started jogging in the last couple of weeks and I'd be interested in starting a "bootcamp" style thread - perhaps several of us could find 5mile/10 mile/half marathons to run and support each other. Anyone up for it?

(Although I'm NOWHERE near that fit yet! But I could do with a goal, definately!)

I went jogging the other day and about went into cardiac arrest. I thought I was gonna fvcking die.

It amazes me how quick you can fall out of shape. I smoke when I drink, so this doesn't help. I'm working on getting back into the prime shape I'm accustomed to. Good luck w/ the marathon AC.

Hey

It's good stuff man, the Army bred me to run marathon-like distances no prob. If you need advice or whatever, feel free to ask, I've got 6 years airborne infantry to back me up lol.
