Indoor TrackA recent article in the Wall Street Journal describes the growing popularity of marathons run on indoor tracks, requiring 150 laps or more to complete the 26.2 mile race.

My son runs indoor track, so I’ve been to a lot of indoor races recently. I get dizzy just watching them. I can’t…

 I really considered doing the  Instep Indoor Marathon in Milwaukee a few years ago. It sounded like it had everything you needed. Music playing, your own water on every lap if you wanted it, Constant crowd (if they decided to watch the entire race). The price was even right. I just couldn’t get over running that many laps, I know I would keep track of them and that number would just kill morale. Not to mention all those left turns.
