I've managed half marathons and there is no way I could run all the back to make a full marathon distance once I've crossed crawled over the finish line  :tired:

I used to do half marathons and similar events when I was younger, no way I could do a whole marathon now, especially now they're called snickers.

I ran the New York Marathon in 1994, unforgettable experience but never did another, one was enough for me!

I generally do the carb loading.... Other than that it's pure stubbornness that gets me round.
