This. I did my first half last weekend. Had the idea that entering the Marrakech marathon would keep me training through the winter. The reality, virtually nothing on the bike or running since the 3 peaks in September. I think I ran 5 or 6 times this year. One of 90 minutes, 1 of an hour and the others were all around 30 minutes. I got round comfortably in 2 hours. It's easily do able if you are reasonably fit.
The full marathon comment worries me, got my first one in July. Probably need to take that a little more serious.
Sparky, with regards to getting fit enough to run one in 9 months. Piece of piss. You could easily get fit enough in 9 weeks in my opinion. It's not that big an ask physically.
