you stepped off. More'n most would do.
Onya!
What did you learn and what's up next?

I learned my feet suck. My hydration and calorie plans were good to go. Learned need more slick stuff to prevent chaffing (if you know what I mean, you KNOW what I mean)
And learned more training is needed.
And something I knew but relearned today, blisters suck when they explode in your socks.

The only pic from the trail.
I ran about 15 feet the other day to get out of the way of a car. It still kinda hurts.
It's good to be reminded of this periodically, so we really understand how much of our money the US government pisses away with every new scatter-brained bill. And keep in mind that a Trillion seconds, as in the increasingly-common Trillion-dollar spending bills, is 31,500 YEARS!
Well done. That 26.6 miles more than 99% of the people on here do in a day
. Zwift is my thing, stuff snow, cold, and destroyed feet after running that far.

Earth Is An Oil-Producing Machine — We're Not Running Out

Psydhologically it is one mile at a time and repeat. How do yu eat the elephant? One bite at a time.
how old are you?
ive run a few spartan beasts but never a maraton no mater an ultra marahon
sounds like you did great
i bet less than 1% of the country has ever run a marathon
100%
I used to run a little, never even though about a marathon. Lol
My uncle who ran the NYC and Boston a few times each used to say if he didn’t have the time to run at least 8-10 miles it wasn’t worth training that day.
I’m 45 now, so thinking I could train up my skeleton, tendons and ligaments to run serious distance with out getting injured along the way is not possible.
It takes about 11-12 years for your skeleton to totally “replace itself”. During that time it’s adding bone mass when stress is created.
Bone growth slowing down with old age and guys thinking they can just start running is just a bad idea. That’s why you see guys who have been running forever not get injured yet a middle age guy who just started has tons of issues pop up.
You marathon guys are nuts !!!!!!
I'm a week and a half from my 51st. My feet hurt walking from the living room to the kitchen and I get winded lifting the remote to change the channel.
Seriously, back when I was regularly exercising, I'd bike 20-40 miles after work, three times a week. I can't imagine running that distance. Or make it further than the end of the block if I just tried to do it today.
