Anyone here run a marathon?

Most people get injuries because they don't listen to their bodies. I have 'tweaked' a muscle here and there trying to do too much, or squeezing a sprint into a long run, when I shouldn't have. But I have learned from those mistakes. If you try to do too much, too fast, all you're doing is asking for trouble. Running 17 races in 8 years (including a triathlon) has given me a little wisdom. No, I haven't ever won a medal for coming in fast, but I have never had to drop out or even walk during a race, and to me, that's a lot more important.

I once injured my leg trying to put on socks. No marathons for me.
