Facts About a Marathon
Marathons are held all over the world. It was one of the events in the modern Olympics in 1896. All over the world, close to a thousand marathons are held every year. Some marathons are organised for charity and some for competitive purposes. Some marathons have more than 10,000 runners. Let’s find out more about marathons and the simple facts about them.
• A marathon requires training. Your body needs to endure the arduous journey. You have to exercise and train for a month before the marathon’s date to complete it and have a pain free 26.2 miles.
• Always remember, running on a treadmill is not the same as running a marathon. While a treadmill does not offer any resistance, the road does. You need a combination workout with weights and multiple cardio machines.
• There is no age bar in a marathon. You will see 18 year old newbies and 60 year olds at the same time. As long as you are medically cleared by your physician and have enough stamina, you can run the marathon if you are a hundred.
• You have to keep your body hydrated while running a marathon. While running, you sweat and lose water. You need to replenish the body to keep from getting dehydrated. While you’re training or running, always drink water in small amounts.
• You don’t need to be a fast runner to run a marathon. Consistency is the key. Like our good friend, the tortoise, slow and steady wins the race. The body has to learn with proper training to burn fat and release glycogen for that extra push towards the end.
• You have to be mentally strong to run a marathon. There are many external factors at play here. Dust, heat and other competitors can take a toll on you. If you are mentally strong and can push yourself, you are sure to cross the finish line.
• A healthy diet with lots of protein and fibre will help you get fitter faster!
• Never give up and stay motivated. The feeling of crossing that finish line after all the hard work cannot be described.
• Select the right running clothing. You need good shoes that fit you well and provide maximum cushioning. Your running clothes have to be comfortable and light. There are now compression tights that are extremely durable and enhance performance.
If you’re running or training for a marathon, you need the right running clothes. Fusion Sports, in the UK, has biking and running clothing. Visit their website on www.fusionsportsuk.co.uk to find out more about triathlon suits and cycling apparel.

Marathon $15.65 Rated: NRSynopsis: Based on a true story. Marathon is a tale of courage, endurance, and finally, the triumph of love. Marathon explores the relationship between Richard Harteis and William Meredith, former US Poet Laureate and winner of every major American award for poetry including the 1988 Pulitzer Prize. In the 17th year of their friendship, William sustains a debilitating stroke. Richard stands by his partner, fighting for the right to care for him, despite the inevitable restrictions on his own life, and against the wishes of William's family. Though the path they have chosen is not an easy one, their love and compassion see them through days of illness, therapy, and healing. The power to overcome illness with dignity becomes a lesson in physical and spiritual endurance, hard won knowledge indeed. Marathon displays the resolve, discipline and courage of two human beings running for their lives, qualities that can sustain us all in life's marathon. In this moving account, we see how two fellow runners have joined the course, and just how far our dreams can take us before we cross the finish line. |

Brooks T7 Racer Running Shoes $85 Chrissie calls the T7 "an amazing shoe!" She was rocking a pair when she came from behind on the run leg to win her fourth Ironman World Championship in Kona in 2011. Hansons-Brooks athlete Desiree Davila also races in the T7 and wore it during this year's Boston marathon as she became the third fastest U.S. female marathoner ever. This incredibly light road-racing shoe is the fastest in the pack, with a new eye-catching upper for fly-by style. The streamlined, asymmetric upper works with the anatomy of the foot to perfectly wrap the arch securely from start to finish. Available in men's sizes only. For women we suggest ordering 1.5 sizes smaller than what you usually wear. If you're curious, Chrissie wears a 10, and Desi wears a 5.5. Note: As this shoe is a very lightweight, minimal support racing flat, the vast majority of runners will not find it "enough shoe" for a full marathon. If you have a light frame and a biomechanically efficient stride, however, you may be able to get away with it. We suggest you work up to it in several half marathon-plus races beforehand to see how it works for you before running in it for a full marathon.Category: Competition Weight: 6.4 oz Platform: Curved Construction: Strobel Sizing Note: Men's Sizing/D width only. Launch Date: February 1, 2011 |
