Posted this in "training" but wanted to see if theres any other input here....
Hey guys, Ive been toying around with the idea of maybe participating in a marathon, early next year and wanted to see if anyone around here has or dose compete in these things?
A friend threw out the idea of training for and eventually doing a triathlon in maybe a year, and I thought I would first train and participate in a half marathon (Feb 09) to see how my body holds up, then a marathon (Apr 09), and see if I want to keep going and do a tri.
You think from now till Feb (4 months) would be enough time to work from scratch and be able to run a half marathon? The longest Ive ever ran was 6 mile in boot camp 10 years ago. I was about 135lbs. Now Im about 175lbs maybe 11-12%bf.
I know this is a BB forum so not sure if I'll get any response.
