I ran a marathon in 1979. 5 years earlier I could not even run a half a mile without stopping. It was all due to not knowing how to pace myself. I would suggest picking up a book on how to prepare to run a marathon. Just cut the distances in half that they speak about. Unless you are a freak of nature you need to follow a plan of building up the endurance. If one is not careful and over does it they can get worn down and get sick.

For me running on a treadmill is torture. I never could get the hang of it. I could run much faster on the ground without getting winded or legs tiring.
