My typical conversation with non-runner

• Non-runner: Oh, so you're a runner?
• Me: Yes. I do half-marathon distance.
• Non-runner: So have you done the Two Oceans Marathon?
• Me: Yes, but only the half marathon, not the Ultra.
• Non-runner: Oh. Isn't that the same thing, just further?
• Me: Er... ja.
• Non-runner: Oh, like the Comrades! I have a friend/uncle/brother who has done the Comrades. Have you done the Comrades?
• Me: No. That's an Ultra Marathon - it's 90km long!
• Non-runner: Sure. But it's the same thing really. Just longer.
• Me: Ja. OK. Sure. Just longer.
