I have been running for many years now. I started running and continue to do so for myself. I usually do around 5 miles and have gone up to 13. I am 27 and in great shape. I feel that running a marathon will give me a sense of achievement to treasure for the rest of my days. However, I am 6'3 200 lbs. and I'm not going to lie to you, even with great shoes I get very sore in the joints of my legs after running anywhere over 5 miles. Marathons are very, very stressfull on the body and I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons. I don't know what 26+ miles would do to my body, any suggestions wise people of Yahoo!Answers?... (I am fully aware of the training regime involved with a marathon, I'm just looking for experiences and opinions)
