52 Marathons in 52 Weeks

I had decided to do 52 26.2-mile runs—not races—in 52 weeks. Most of the time people do something like this, as far as my research showed, they run races, which is a completely different thing when you account for all the scheduling, logistics, and travel. I just wanted to do the running, so I did what I called “Strava marathons.” I started my watch, started running, and stopped when my watch said 26.2 miles.
