Hi Doug:

It's not compatable. Marathons involve almost exclusively large muscle mass
(ie. the quads,  calves, abs) and playing the drums involve small muscles
(ie. wrists, fingers, ankles, triceps). Long distance running requires
slow-twitch muscles and drumming requires fast-twitch fibers.

The marathon is a great experience. It's also very humbling. If you enjoy
running I recommend it .
