Check out runnersworld.com0,1300,1 51 55,00.htmlOpen ↗ as see read about training.

Psst, a 5k is a 5K, a marathon is 42+K. No such thing as a 5k marathon. 😉

Will he need a day to recover from this monumental effort Doug?

Kind of reminds me of the infamous "How long was your last marathon?" question all runners get at

Don't be silly. Everyone knows that it takes a week for each kilometre. He should avoid jogging for
at least five weeks following this monumental effort. He should also be very careful not to
overhydrate during the race in case his brain cells leach out of his mitochondria. Jonathan "RM"
