So this might be a stupid question...but say, if a marathon was on your bucket list. Is this no longer an option after limb lengthening?
Has anyone ran in a marathon after lengthening and completed?

Paley has said he has had people run marathons less than a year after starting lengthening.  You won’t win any marathons, though I’m sure you can successfully complete one.

nonsense - i went to russia to pardon the pun - nothing cheap about the care i received - i don't know why people comment like this when they haven't - nor will they -  do ll

of course you can do a marathon, largely depends on the amount lengthened - running is one of the easier sports to return to after ll - my times actually improved after ll... 😊💃

I finished lengthening in April. I’m back in the gym since August and can do squats and deadlifts without any issues. Obviously the weights I lift is half of what used to be before the surgery, but once the bone is fully consolidated, I’m fairly certain I’ll get very close to my pre-surgery numbers.

Your ability to run a marathon is just as much dependent on your cardiovascular strength as your bone/ soft tissue strength. Bones consolidate and soft tissue can be stretched and strengthened. Unless you intend to compete at professional levels, most people should be able to return to their regular sports as long as they follow the doctor’s recommendation and lengthen within reasonable amount.
