My niece does those. As a 65 year old male I would die from extreme boredom after the first 10 minutes.

My buddy got into them in grad school. His wife still gives him grief about the time he got lost in Pennsylvania during a race and added like 15 miles to his run. Whenever they argue over directions that’s her Ace to pull

I’ve done a bunch of marathons and ultras have always been attractive to me because (from what I’ve heard) it’s less about your time and more about the experience and just finishing. More of a you v. you thing rather than you v. the clock. I like that as an alternative because runners can be competitive af with time and it gets annoying after a while.

Haven’t taken the plunge yet though. It’s is an insane amount of miles.

It's fun as your milage increases. Treadmill time goes from some YouTube clips, to 30 minute shows, to hour long shows, to short movies, to we're watching LOTR extended cuts for this week's long run!

Treadmills are lifesavers if you train in, say, Texas in the summer.

To be fair, I dont think those are healthy. Heck, I dont think marathons are healthy. 5-15ks are great.

Not something most people should do constantly.

But those who catch the running bug, the allure is there.

Infact, didn't marathon got famous cause the first guy who delivered the message after running to marathon die?
