I Likely Won’t Run A Second Marathon
March 23rd 2007
Q. Will you ever run another marathon?
A. I’ve been running, and although I enjoy the short daily runs, and the challenge of getting in shape, I don’t believe I’ll run another full marathon.
I’ve read and heard stories about how bad marathon training and running can be for the average person’s body.
This may not be true for everyone, but I do know from my experiences, the training was intense and quite the beating on my body.
Additionally, although I can visualize myself enjoying the marathon training and running – and I’d really like to run a marathon for time – I’ve accepted my body just isn’t made for long distance running.
I’m not even sure my body enjoys short runs of three to five miles, but it’s one of the best ways I know to simultaneously get a total body and cardiovascular workout.
Although I likely will not run another full marathon, I may attempt to run a half-marathon, 10k or another road race this fall.
