I want to run a half marathon (13 miles) but my friend tells me that long distance running creates cysts on your overies (sounds a bit far fetched) and that women that run can't have children later. Does long distance running have those effects, or any other effects on women?

This sounds like a fairy tale to me.
From my experience, there are unique effects on women if they exercise too much and get below a certain body fat percentage.
