To determine the percentage of the marathon that the runner has completed, you can use the following formula:

$$
\text{Percentage Completed} = \left( \frac{\text{Distance Run}}{\text{Total Marathon Distance}} \right) \times 100
$$

**Given:**
- **Total Marathon Distance** = 26 miles
- **Distance Run So Far** = 19 miles

**Plugging in the values:**

$$
\text{Percentage Completed} = \left( \frac{19 \text{ miles}}{26 \text{ miles}} \right) \times 100
$$

$$
\text{Percentage Completed} = \left( 0.7308 \right) \times 100
$$

$$
\text{Percentage Completed} \approx 73.08\%
$$

**Conclusion:**
The marathon runner has completed approximately **73.08%** of the marathon.
The runner has completed about 73% of the marathon.
