I do 'dynamic stretches' beforehand, I don't even stretch or foam roller after TBH, I do yoga a few times a week though.

While i fancy the idea of a marathon, it's really not my thing, I like walking long distances, not running so much these days.

If I'm going over 10Ks I find it hard to get out of bed that day.

You should try some longer intervals for your marathon training and less of the pounding out the miles, it might work!

Those athletes - very impressive.
