Have you ever run a marathon? Would you ever consider it?

Question

Michael Johnson · Answer

Have I ever run a marathon, and would I ever consider it? I've never run a marathon and don't think I'll consider. it's just not something that I'm interested in. Interestingly, when I was a sprinter, the longest I ever ran when I was training was one mile. Every year, at the beginning of the year in our off-season training, Coach would have us run a mile. And we thought that was serious distance. And I used to see people out running, and I would think, why would anyone ever want to do that? It looks boring. But after I finished and retired from my career, I found myself really enjoying running. So for many years after I retired from my athletic career I, did go out for, you know, three-, four-mile runs a couple of times a week. Now I hike more than I do running. But no, just not interested in the marathon.
