Shit talking went a bit far at Christmas and now me and some mates have verbally agreed to attempt a marathon. We are all unfit middle aged fat bastards myself included. Never run anything with distance before in my life. Max was 6km and even then that was a one off. I think I did maybe 5 runs last year.
Anyway thought it would be a good challenge - something different. I'm ok on the bike, can do kind of long rides 6-8 hours with a bit of grit. The goal is to just finish, but I rekon to actually call it a marathon and not a crawl, sub 5 hours including breaks is what I'm aiming for.
And before you say it, yes I understand this will be a painful affair and I probably won't enjoy it even after i finish it. I will 100% go back to biycles after and maybe just run once per week to mix it up. Maybe I will reward myself with a new bike of something lol.
Any tips and tricks from folks who have crossed over? What were your experiences? Did anyone shit themselves (heard it's a remote possibility)?
