marathoning

Long-distance running sport

Marathoning is the activity or practice of running marathons—26.2-mile footraces.

It suggests ongoing participation rather than a single event: She took up marathoning in her forties.

Extended to any sustained effort through lengthy content: I spent Sunday marathoning the new season.
