I want to run a long distance marathon
Yeah? I am training for one at the moment. Have you ever run much?
First time but its a 26 mile race
Yes I know. It's a long way! Usually you will want to train for about 24 weeks before attempting to run one.
It started to commenorate the run of the Greek Soldier
Yes, I heard this story before. Why did he run anyways?
Not sure but the marathon was one of the original olympic events in 1896
Cool. I heard that women were not allowed to run marathons initially as well.
