You actually have to cap the flag, which is annoying, because I've taken the flag several times and made it all the way back to my base but couldn't cap because our flag was out...
Well damn, I only got one last night then. :/ I had 3 complete before, guess I'll continue working on it. I'm not fond of this marathon because it isn't a continual sprint so it gets annoying when trying to run the 26 miles.
you can check on the status of your pro challenges by hitting the x button when on the perk you are trying to reach pro level on.
i usually check it after each match to see what progress i am making towards my goal.
i believe the deal with capturing the flag is that you don't actually have to capture the flag, but you need to be in possession of it once during its trip back to being captured
for example: you grab the flag, immediately get killed, but a teammate picks it up before the enemy can "return" the flag, it still counts as a CAP for you towards your goal.
i could be wrong, but i did read this somewhere.
you can also play HC and kill the flag runner and cap it yourself, or play with some teammates who will take one for the team and die so you can take the flag in for the cap, i've helped a few people out along the way. lightweight will enable you to sprint further without having marathon pro, so its a good combo to use both. i think you also need some offensive kills for lightweight pro, so CTF works well for both.
once you obtain marathon pro you will be able to sprint non-stop
you will find it to be very useful and rewarding during game play, especially if you are chasing someone, need to get somewhere fast, or like the run and gun strategy
i have played a little more HC.
not sure if i was playing with shitty people, but i did surprisingly well.
i started with HC CTF, and then played some HC FFA.
i think ghost pro probably helps me not get noticed.
you have to dial back the run and gun a little bit and be more observant and pay attention to traps, hiding spots, and campers

Yeah I know how to check the progress of my perks, just wasn't sure what the specifics to getting some of those accomplishments were. I think I'll play this more often. I don't find myself getting as mad at people because I know I suck at it. It's a huge difference from MW2 for me, a lot harder to spot the people sitting in corners defending the HQ and all. If anyone wants to play tonight send me an invite.
if i catch you online i'll help you get your captures for marathon pro.
not sure what time i will be out of work though, so it'll be much later.

I still havent gotten on. Haha I went to, but ended up watching tv instead. I loved the thrill of capping flags. It's all about timing and taking weird routes. Playing that really upped my knowledge of every map. I learned the common routes a lot better and peoples hiding spots too. I didnt really try for the running 26 miles part. It just happened during normal play I suppose. That was waaaay back. It popped up randomly and i remember wondering wtf was going on.
That's how Sleight of Hand Pro is. Just turn it on and play, you'll get it in no time...
