Hello,
Benjamin from Brother’s Campfire here!
Training for a Marathon has been a tougher decision in my life.
Here are the stats so far
Distance for 2025: 803.5 Miles
Time on feet: 171.5 Hours
Runs: 88
Average distance per run: 9 miles
Average Speed 13 minutes per mile
I will likely hit 1000 miles by the end of July, 2025.
By race day, I am projecting to have run 1400 miles to train for the Colorado Springs Marathon.
For various reasons, going the distance is a lifestyle I am accustomed to, but wow, this is tough.

I can only imagine in my wildest dream to run a marathon. The resilience and persistence you demonstrated are admirable.
