There's this idea of how you do one thing is how you do all things.
That was a theme that came through from the recruiters I spoke to and also the people who are putting this type of thing on their resume.
They believe a marathon, it's hard work, training for it and the actual race itself.
So those values that a marathon requires translate to the workplace.
A few people I spoke with said that they've had it on their resume for a while now, but others were recently inspired to add it after seeing a post about the topic on social media.
So I don't think it's new so much as growing in popularity.
I am a marathoner.
I do have it on my resume.
That was not what inspired this story, though.
However, I've had it on my resume for quite a while, and I never really thought much about it or been a journalist for over a decade.
And it's been interesting to me that this topic has been really interesting to people.
And I wish I would have thought to talk about it sooner.
The best practice, according to the recruiters that I spoke with, is to keep it simple.
So just list that you're a six-time marathoner, for example, or maybe list the location of the marathon, especially if it's a unique location and could perhaps be a conversation starter.
The recruiters agreed that it might be a little much to add your best marathon time or really any much detail beyond that.
One coach I spoke to suggested that ideally you build your marathon finishes into a career narrative.
Maybe it helps explain a gap in your work history if you competed at a high level, or it simply shows that you're a self-starter if you add the context that you put yourself through college as a scratch golfer, for example, because it doesn't just have to be about marathons.
People are really putting all kinds of fitness achievements on their resume.
All kinds.
That's what was really interesting to me.
