I felt rough after grandmas but not like this. think spending a majority of the last ten miles in lactic hell took its toll on me.

Once I get to a reasonable weight and pace, I will probably sign up for a half marathon. I can see why people do full marathons. It's a bucket list thing. I don't judge people for setting up personal workout goals. It's a healthy thing to do. The actual marathon race is incredibly stressful on the body but it's not like normal people are running marathons every week.

I get this, my strongest distance so far has been the 5k and the half marathon. The Marathon is just kinda it's own beast, by training for a Marathon my Half Marathon actually ends up GREATLY improving and my Marathon seems to... slightly improve. It's a very very VERY long game type training plan.
Also on a different account, 100 miler training is going to be different than all of it, I have to figure out how to move at a reasonable pace while keeping my heart rate below 140 basically all the time and staying on my feet for the majority of 24-32 hours which is insane. I really don't know what kinda training this will inherently help more than the 100 miler, but I'm sure it will.
The Marathon is really not for everyone, I honestly don't even know if it's for me, but I'm going to continue to run them because I'm a masochist
