Podcast: What's it like to run 26.2 or 13.1 miles. Training for the Pittsburgh Marathon and Half Marathon

Pittsburgh will be off and running this weekend with the annual marathon and events. Since it was first held in 1985, the event now includes a marathon, half-marathon, marathon relay and 5K races that run through the heart of the city, across many of the city’s iconic bridges, and through several city neighborhoods.

At TribLive, distance running has become a common interest among team members Megan Swift and Quincey Reese, who have been training to run the half-marathon race.

They are here with more info on the weekend event and to share their training experiences.
