How many hours a day does a marathoner train?
Just about 4 years ago when my oldest started at this new school, I saw this lady train in the mornings alongside our route to school. I would often point to her as an example of good form. She looked relaxed and she seemed to train with a purpose.
Recently, I had to do some school duty mid afternoon and I saw her again in the afternoon. Then, a couple of evenings when I had to go to school, I saw her walking with exaggerated movements.
Is this coincidence or is she really training 10+ hrs per day? Is that what it takes to be a competitive marathoner?
Her determination is beyond comprehension. Maybe that's what it takes ...
