Can someone who is obese run a marathon?


Rate This Answer

Marathon Well, the poll only says "marathon" so I didn't vote, but I have run 2 half marathons at a weight of 195-200 lbs. Being maybe 5'6" that's a BMI of 31.5 on the low end. I am hoping to lose a little more weight before my first marathon, but I am not letting a generalized number on a chart hold me back.
