I have been adding on an average of about 15 km a week to my running mileage for the past decade. That may not qualify me to be called an 'avid' runner. Nonetheless, I recently decided to turn to marathon running. There seems to be thousands of other newbies like me in pursuit of this not-so-formidable task. According to Runner's World, there were about 25,000 marathon runners in 1975 in the US. That number swelled to about 450,000 in 2005. But the marathon demands respect. 26.2 miles with decent pace is an extremely physiological and psychological challenge.
