Are there many people on the Org that have run a Marathon? How many would like to?

I'm training to run one later this year, and am finding it fun, but a bit tough at the moment. Is it really as fulfilling as people say it is, once it's done?

I have not run a full marathon,but years ago there were two races during Gala week in Wick.One was for 18 years and over and started at John O Groats and finished at the old Police Station on Bridge St.The one I was allowed to run in was the junior version and started in Keiss to the same finishing spot,I finished 3rd in 1966/67 won 2 pounds and got a medal from the Queen Mother who used to attend most events in those days.A shame a lot of events that were popular years ago are now banned under health & safety.Good luck with your preperation and best of luck with your run

I have a bit of an aversion to exercise but I admire marathon runners etc.. a lot

My OH family are into alittle, his brother dad and brother in law have all run the Reading half marathon (his dad has done it a few times)
After seeing the discomfort (especially their nipples!!) don't think I could put myself through it

No. I am hoping to do a 10k (can't imagine doing a marathon). Good luck with your training and the run on the day!
