Will you go for a Marathon if you could?I know I will,I think that would be an amazing experience in my life.
Finishing a marathon takes more than physical prowess. It also takes willpower, lots of it.So, not everyone will win a marathon race,it would be great enough for me if I can just make it across the finish line.
Have you ever run for a Marathon?Any tips for it?Or will you run for a Marathon in the future?

No, I have never ran a marathon. But this is my first year being in cross country at my high school. I'm a senior, and planning to do a marathon. I have already been training for it. The Los Angeles Marathon!:D
I want to make that a yearly tradition. Run a marathon every year in my life since I want to be a very good runner.
How about you? are you gonna do one?

I have not really run a marathon b4 and i've participated in the Terry Fox run b4.. hehe.. I can keep on running and running for long distances without feeling tired or numb, but it will be quite a slow one, not as fast as i wil normally run.. BUt i'm starting to run much more longer distances now such as 15km to 21km.. Once i can achieve that, i will start training for full marathon distance.. haha

I definitely would join a marathon, but I think that to join a marathon requires training but even then, nothing can quite prepare you for the physical and mental demands on the race day itself, so it also helps that good rest and diet is taken care up in the days and weeks leading up to the race day.

Most people have no idea what it takes to run 26 miles. In fact many in the West have no idea what it is like to walk 10 miles!!
My only tip is to get your feet toughened up with training and wear-in a good pair of shoes. So many people have to drop out through blisters and chafe.
I admire every single person who has the guts to finish a marathon.

I would love to but my congenital spinal curvature (scoliosis) and arthritis makes it impossible. I can only walk for a short period of time without support.
I really admire those who run those races. Especially those that come in last but still run the race with all their heart.
