Question:
"How do you train for a marathon when you are slow? Should you follow the standard program even though the 1820 mile rubs will take over five hours, or do you stop at a shorter time and just go for it at a race.

Also, how do you deal with the course opening to everybody and you are out there wearing a bib all alone. I did it once and the difficulty in being alone was harder than the actual run. I want to do one more marathon next year but have to prepare better." Callie Pappas Winner
