Marathon Running Harmful for 12 yr olds? Curiousgeorge 5/5/03 10:35:12 PM ET
Apparently there is a 12 year old Canadian kid that broke 3 hrs in a marathon last fall! Story is he did his first marathon at age 10! No doubt he's very talented but I have trouble believing that running marathons at that age is good for one's long term health. Anybody aware if there is any truth to this story? If so is there any research indicating if this is harmful to a young runner?
