I have a lot of respect for long distance runners, probably because I was always horrible at it and know how tough it is. I had to do a lot of running when I was in the military (15 years), and I never enjoyed it much. Especially those 2 x 10 forced marches.
You do 10 miles one day, and 10 miles the next day. With full gear, weapon, and combat boots on. Those were really a killer but when it was over, you felt awesome.
