A recent article in the Wall Street Journal describes the growing popularity of marathons run on indoor tracks, requiring 150 laps or more to complete the 26.2 mile race.
My son runs indoor track, so I’ve been to a lot of indoor races recently. I get dizzy just watching them. I can’t…
I really considered doing the Instep Indoor Marathon in Milwaukee a few years ago. It sounded like it had everything you needed. Music playing, your own water on every lap if you wanted it, Constant crowd (if they decided to watch the entire race). The price was even right. I just couldn’t get over running that many laps, I know I would keep track of them and that number would just kill morale. Not to mention all those left turns.
I have trouble running 2 miles on an indoor track. Lap, there’s the mirrors again, lap, there’s the mirrors again, lap, there’s the mirrors again, lap, there’s the mirrors again, lap, there’s the mirrors again, lap, there’s the mirrors again, ONE HALF MILE DOWN, INFINITY TO GO!

I couldn’t, but I know of a guy in England doing 52 marathons this year with a number being done on treadmills! Rather him then me!

For realsies - The thought of running this long inside makes me anxious. Serious props to those who can do this.

No way. I wouldn’t even be able to do 30 minutes on an indoor track. Lack of motivation. I like to look at the scenery!

I agree on enjoying the scenery and the experience of an outdoor marathon. But I suppose indoor track brings a different angle for the competition side of things. I dislike the ‘controlled environment’ aspect of it though.
