I did the Boston Marathon without really training for it. Started training like one and a half to two months out. At the time I only had a base of about 18/20 miles a week. Only got up to 16 miles as my longest training run. You can imagine what race day felt like about mile 18. They say if you can run 18 to 20, then you can run a marathon. Guess "they" were right. That was my one and only.... in 2000. I did a pretty crazy half Ironman once. Then there's the "Leatherman's Loop" race in NY which is basically up a mountain and then back down. You run through rivers that are waist high and stuff, then you have to go up literally 60 yard sand dunes, etc. I think you cross rivers and swamps like 4 times. People lose their shoes all the time, lol.
