Agree on the logo part. Could you tell me why you think the name is bad?

I think the name is okay. Marathon by itself would be a better name, though that I believe is taken by the Mesos task runner.

As for the logo, it's clever but too complex. It wouldn't bother me if it weren't prominent in the menu bar. Something more simple for the menubar icon could just be a ">" logo.

For reference on logos, compare with iTerm and Prompt: https://www.iterm2.com/ https://panic.com/prompt/

Prompt especially has a great logo IMO.

I don't like the sound of it, and it seems a name for a lifestyle / sports app.
Apparently it's also a popular name for developer tools. https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/
