Topical in view of todays London marathon. I was wondering what distance in cycling is considered to be roughly equivalent to running a marathon for your average non athletic type person? Most of us seem to aim for 100 miles as the ultimate distance, although I know there are some on here who do a lot more at the one sitting. Assuming that a reasonably fit person could WALK a marathon in about 7 hours, then a 100 mile cycle must be harder? So perhaps 70 or 80 miles would be a closer comparison?
