Easily. Read the book 'chunk to hunk'. The author documents his transformation from 370 pound diabetic to 210 pound athelete over the course of 2 years.

Happens all the time, although it's not recommended. From fat couch potato to full marathon should take 2 years if you want to do it right and injury free. I've trained a few people to run marathons before and it should take a minimum of a years training.

Yes, I have a friend that did it. Within 12 months of starting he had lost 40 lbs and in 18 months he finished an Ironman race.

my old roommate didn't run more than a mile for 6+ months, and, for no reason at all, decided he was going to run a full marathon that was less than a week a day.

he drank himself stupid, day in and day out, right before the race.

guess what? he finished it in 3:58
