I have a goal this year to run a marathon. I am male, late 20s, 6’4”/193cm and 210 lb/95 kg. I have been a casual runner for several years and have completed several half-marathons, most recently in 2022, but have never run further than the half marathon distance. My 5k PR is 21:13; my HM PR is 1:38:40.
My plan is to roughly follow the Hal Higdon Novice 1 marathon training plan and run an event in late April.
To resolve YES, I must complete an activity of marathon distance (26.2 miles/42.2 km) or longer by the end of 2026. I should run for the majority of the activity; walking 26.2 miles would not count. Resolves NO if I fail to do so by the end of the year.
I will only buy YES shares in this market.

@MachiNi My guess is training got interrupted, last update I was able to find was 30 January.
But either way, as long as it is a goal to do it during the year, it looks like all the physical capability is present. I'm not selling yet!
@MachiNi Nope, after a 13 mile long run I had a strain injury in my left knee, took multiple weeks off and have only been running intermittently since. The redemption plan is to try to build a better base over the summer and target a race in November
@RedzoneITG you have plenty of time to recover, build back up and train for a race. Plus, fall marathons are easier.
