I do think that getting in shape and planning to run a marathon is natural. At least more natural than giving blood. I've wanted to put up useful information and where I look I can seldom find much information about how to get in shape. There's tons available concerning how to train once you've achieved a certain level of fitness--a level at which few of us currently find ourselves--but not so much about how to get there. Maybe these Mayo Clinic articles will be useful.

u say getting in shape and PLANNING to run a marathon are both natural.... what about actually running a marathon????
scott
it may be unnatural, like donating your life blood to a competitive creature
[see western for further comment]
There is nothing natural about actually running a marathon.
I offer a marathon haiku.
Marathon? Insane.
Legs...mind...challenged. Twenty-six miles.
Then, it's over. YES!
also, my idea of "naturist" is running on the grass or through the woods
fully clothed, or at least as much as any other runner
The second line is supposed to end with "Two-Six miles."
Silly editors, learn to count.
