I believe that most people can gain a lot from completing one (any kind 5K, Ironman, whatever) and more people should do them. It's an easy way to remind yourself how good setting a goal and accomplishing it feels. I have wanted to run a full marathon for a while now, I have always been attracted to these endurance events that test your body and more importantly, test your mind. Let's start with a little background info: WHY? It's one of those rhetorical questions that never really gets answered, something no one can really confirm or deny, so I'll lay out the facts of how this went down and describe how it felt for anyone training for a marathon or anyone having this debate who needs closure. If nothing else it is certainly a debate I've heard before, "Do you think you could run a marathon without training?".
You might find yourself saying, "Congratulations, Why do I care?" and to that I would simply say, maybe you don't, in which case, stop reading now, but for those who take an interest in endurance events or are considering a marathon themselves, I thought I'd write a little bit about the experience as it may serve as an interesting case study. I ran a marathon on Sunday with virtually no training and not only did I finish, but also found it to be quite enjoyable. The human body is an amazing thing and you know yours better than anyone else so listen to it and do what you wish. Disclaimer: I don't recommend anyone try this but I also try not to tell people what to do/not do, so read, train/don't train at your own risk.
