Curious about marathon runners? Also maybe looking into training to run a marathon yourself? A new Apple Watch-powered study offers some insight into the training habits of over 1,500 participants who ran an estimated 2,623 marathons throughout the study period,. The data was taken from more than 1,500 participants who ran an estimated 2,623 marathons throughout the study period, which was from November 2019 to January 2024.
Over 50% of participants who recorded either exercise achieved a 5k distance or more at least once in each respective category. From the data, the study concludes that half of the participants would walk and/or run 26.2 miles in 90 days or fewer. On average, it would take 334 days per marathon - that's so slow given the fact that some of the participants didn't log their runs or walks frequently. Of course, as you could probably guess, we're no talking about walking/running for 334 days straight.
The study also provides some statistics. For example, we find more people with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 as the distance that was walked or run increases. Also, the 35-44 age group seems to walk the most . 2.1% of the 27,521 runners in that age have achieved the 26.2-mile mark during the study period.The Apple Heart and Movement Study also provides some tips on how to train for a marathon.
