Part of me feels like we shouldn't tell people what they should do. That being said the idea that the Marathon is the ideal distance is kind of insane because of how much time it takes. (Both on the day and to train for it). Especailly with the number of people who run a marathon and then stop running. A half marathon or 10 mile does seem like a better "long" distance to strive for
