Note
A regular -ed form doing double duty: it is the plain past (they marathoned all weekend) and, after have or had, the participle (she had marathoned twice). The verb splits by object. Without one, it means running the race. With one, such as a series or a trilogy, it is the informal sense of watching or reading instalments in one sitting, and only that sense can turn passive: the whole season was marathoned.
