[Lennu]

Has anyone here ever ran a marathon?

Ive been running 5-6 times a week for nearly 3 years now. So im in pretty good shape and ive decided to try and run a marathon, im only 15 btw.

So, if anyone has ever ran a marathon could you share some of your tips please?

Cheers

ive run a half marathon when i just turned 17. Fuck doing a full 26 miles though bro.

Only tips i could give you is dont try and race the people in front, keep to a steady pace throughout the whole race, dont change speed and make use of the water they hand out.

I've only really done cross country when i was younger... that was like 6 miles.

Just keep breathing steadily.. dont tire yourself out on breathing its how you get a stitch, and keep yourself hydrated aswell obv.

First for MOST marathons you need to be 18 years old.

Ive ran 8 half's though, looking to do a full when I hit the age limit. As for tips just keep your pace up and don't think about the distance (stay focused in your music or do some thinking), and just keep striding the whole way through. And if any Nigerians pass you don't speed up and try to stay with them, because they are machines.

I trail run which is very different.  I find setting targets makes the distance much more managable, so for me it's like, OK I can see that peak over there, I'm gonna try and reach it by this time.  Most well organised road runs will let you know every mile that goes past, so just try and keep a consistant pace that is comfortable with you.  7 minutes per mile maybe?  Whatever works for you.

I think you will struggle to find anywhere that lets you run a marathon at 15.....unless you just set a course for yourself and run it by yourself.

You are awesome if you do a marathon at 15. Props to you, but I suggest not going overblown and run a full marathon, trying doing a half marathon.

Dedication, and your mentality.
