I have completed a couple marathons and many halfs. The full is quite the distance and proper training is the only thing to help with covering that distance while running the entire way. BUD/s training is a frequent topic for the duds and I've always wondered how I'd do. My swimming is mediocre but my running is pretty good. Fastest full - 4hr5min fastest half - 1hr35min

Running long distances is part of SEAL training. How much more involved is a full marathon compared to the running and swimming done in SEAL training? I used to be a corpsman and that rate is a popular one for "Buds duds".
