My husband has been doing running events for 8 years now. 10ks, half marathons and 5 full marathons.
Last year he said he was giving up the full marathons as he was no longer enjoying it and he was finding it very hard going.
He hates doing the training and didn't use to train very hard but managed to pull it out the bag come race day.
He did his final marathon a year ago and I thought that was the end of it.
He has not done another event since. He has done a few runs for fun 10 miles or so but nothing for 6 months.
He's now dropped it on me he has yesterday signed up to a ultra+ marathon I think it was called. It's 62 miles and it's in 5 weeks time.
I think he's completely bonkers for even considering it let alone entering it. Seeing as he has done no training what so ever this year.
He says it will be fine, he doesn't have to run he can walk or walk and run but he's a stubborn competitive bugger and I don't think he will walk.
I'm really worried about him, I don't want him to do it full stop as I think it's complete and utter madness.
Can I have other peoples opinions to wether I should try and talk him out of it or just let him carry on?
