My faith will see me through in the long run. Marathon runners excel in the long run. His sprints are spectacular, but he'll lose out in the long run.
about 300 miles
Presumably a meal with a lot of energy in it, for example pasta. I once found out that footballers eat a lot of food and drink that is high in sugar before they play a game, so marathon runners must do something similar.
Nope you get 5 seconds of fame if your lucky and a participation ribbon.
Marathon runners train their bodies so that they are prepared for the 26.2 miles of running. Each mile run during training helps condition them for the challenge. However, when the pain hits, the battle becomes more mental than physical. The unique thing about marathon pain is that there is a completely effective way of stopping the pain - you just have to stop running. Not a very good option for someone trying to finish a marathon. So in the end, the marathon isn't so much about suppressing pain as it is running through it.
Run a marathon, get a prostitute and enjoy your evening.
