Yeah, I can picture it:
Me: I just did the marathon a few months ago
Other person: Oh yes, the London marathon?
Me: No, THE marathon. From Marathon to Athens. But without the death, as you may have noticed.Running Club targets 20105KM - 21:00 21:55 (59.19%)10KM - 44:00 --:-- (0%)Half-Marathon - 1:45:00 HIT! 1:43:08 (57.84%)Marathon - 3:45:00 --:-- (0%)0 -

Interesting. Presumably they now run Marathon to Athens via a route that covers modern Marathon distance and not the "original" Marathon-Athens route?Running Club targets 20105KM - 21:00 21:55 (59.19%)10KM - 44:00 --:-- (0%)Half-Marathon - 1:45:00 HIT! 1:43:08 (57.84%)Marathon - 3:45:00 --:-- (0%)0
