Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire People Who Run Marathons

A friend of mine uses this lawyer guy that would disagree with your doc, he just ran 7 marathons in 7 days at 76 years young. His name is Dan Little.

I considered it, and then I remembered how tired I get driving 26 miles and cracked open another brewski

People who run marathons - are nuts. End of story.

Not really. Army got me running and, after the hell of getting there, a couple miles in it started feeling good, uncommonly good. Had to limit to about 5 miles or I'd end up walking like Frankenstein, my body isn't configured for running.

I've never ran an actual marathon, but I've done Pikes Peak 3 times with a light pack in under 8hrs. I've also done a 25+ mile ruck march in around 7 hours.

Furthest I've ever ran was 12 miles and I had always planned on running a marathon one day. Now I just don't think it would be much fun.

I get tired driving that far.

LOL except for the beer, I am right wicha sir.

5Ks are a long enough race for me, and I haven’t competed in one of those in a few years. I used to run 20-25 miles per week in 4-5 outings, hard to imagine doing it in one session. Respect to those that do

Gotten really busy and little lazy the last 2 years, only getting in two or three 3-mile runs a week, though I’d like to ramp it back up some

Over the course of my 10 years active duty military I did 7 marathons. I'm 60 now and won't commit the time and don't have the desire to train for marathons. I still do a fair # of 5 and 6k runs though.
