I wish I can run a marathon but no i’m far from it. I’m sure few 5Ks dont count. I personally think if you are able to run around 10 miles, you should be good to participate in marathon. Like here I know NYC marathon and Boston marathons are 16 miles each. I think its a great experience.

I’ll try to find some link about it for you

What?
A marathon is a fixed length no matter which city is in. Marathon means 26.2 miles. If it’s not 26.2 miles then it’s not a marathon.

And if you can run 10 miles that’s not enough. I’ve done the last 2 London marathons and i found it really hard. Ive run 3 times a week for the last few years, done some 10ks and some half marathon races and then moved on to marathons and trained for 3 months specifically for marathon running before each.

Some people find it easy I guess but I found it really hard. If you run at an average speed then don’t forget it’s about 4hrs running non stop. My times were 4hr 2min and 3hr 44min.
