About the Game
WARNING: This game requires careful timing and extreme patience. This is a rapid-pressing track & field game where you're task is to run an entire 26.2 mile marathon. You cannot even run as fast as possible or else you will lose all your energy and slow down to a stop, but going at a slower pace will regain your energy.
How long will that take? Who knows, the current world record for the world's fastest marathon run is 2 hours, 2 minutes and 57 seconds. While I cannot guarantee the distance you travel and speed in-game will reflect reality, I would be surprised if you could complete the game in under an hour.
If you do, provide a screenshot, and if not then let me know how far you got before either giving up or passing out from lack of energy.
Controls
You have three options:
* Press A and D keys in sequence.
* Press Left and Right keys in sequence.
* Press A and B on a gamepad in sequence.
The faster you press, the faster you go.
Other controls include pressing T to switch your distance from miles to meters, and R will reset the marathon.
