Ad
Of course, running a marathon is a one in a lifetime opportunity for the average person and with all the media coverage, there is a chance of getting your 2 minutes of fame, be it an article in the newspaper or an online publication or even screen time on TV

But nothing can beat the exhilarating thrill of crossing that elusive finish line and on doing so allowing your legs that have been screaming in protest, some well deserved respite
