    I'm thinking of running a marathon next year.

    Just thought I'd see if anyone has any advice?

    Thanks.

    Smoke more? A wise man once said smoking weed can help you fly.

    Good advice thanks.

    How many you run?

    A round figure. **** all. Nor do I ever have any intention of doing so. Marathon running is for obsessed nutters only.

    I ran a marathon yesterday and am running another one as I type this. To date I've run 1,471 marathons. My favourite was the one I ran whilst piloting Concorde to Las Vegas, Illinois.

    I'm actually sat in a pub garden right now. Perhaps the double rum chaser has distorted my thinking.

    Maybe this isn't my finest hour.

    Give yourself plenty of time to train
    Do lots of Interval training
    Learn to love Sunday long runs
    Stretch AFTER a run and not before
    Take 'on board' hydration with for distances above 10k
    Prior to the Marathon, sign up for 5k, 10k and half marathon races to help find your 'race pace'

    And finally......

    Just enjoy every ****ing minute of funning mate cos when you start it is like a drug, specifically the high you get after a run equates to the first few drags of a joint... so someone once told me.

    Actually some sports science guru's say running barefoot is the best way to run.
    Zola Budd style...

    I don't think I've got the stamina for a full marathon.

    I think I'd get too Tyler'd and have to stop.
