I was a pack a day smoker from age 18 to 28. I quit smoking and starting running when I was 28 and at 29 I ran a 2:57 marathon. 12 years later at 41 I ran a 2:41 marathon.
Good luck, you can do it too if you have the right parents.
Daily smoker from 13-25. Also did basically any drug you can think of and drank heavily during that time.
PRs by 30:
15:50 5k
1:13 half
2:37 marathon
Smoked from age 14-30, no sports, then picked up running. I haven't run a marathon since I was still on the learning curve, but I've managed sub-1:19 twice for the half. Pretty sure I could break 2:50 at the time; certainly sub-3.
Smoked 14-25. Broke 3 eight times from age 52 to age 56.
First smoke 9yrs., first beer 9yrs, first trip with bob hope 9yrs.
Was addicted to all three by the end of 5th grade.
Been using ever since.
Prs:
50
153
352
1452
1:14
2:57 (no training just basketball)
People keep saying it's going to catch up to me, they're right
Looks like 5.
I have..... in the 800. oh, you mean the marathon?
lol I'm slow.
Off again/on again smoker from 16 to 24. Heavy smoker from 25 to 29. Quit smoking entirely at 29. Took up running at 34. PRs of 17:38; 36:44 and 2:59:20 at age38 and 39.
Started smoking weed and cigarettes in sixth grade. Quit pot when I graduated out of high school and went through boot camp. Continued smoking Marlboro red's about a pack every two days and heavier on weekends.
Turned 30 and quiet smoking cold turkey ,told myself I wanted to live another 30.
To answer your question I have a broken 3hrs 17 times. And 24 year's later I still get a craving once in awhile but would never give in.

Switched from roll your own to a bong for health reasons, and now jog to the corner liquor store in 10 minutes for a 40.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
