The Greatest Tips On How To Train For And Run A Marathon

By Janine Hughes


At the start of every year people make many resolutions, for many the most common one is running a marathon. It does not matter if they will finish the race just being in one and making the effort counts. It is among the many reasons why people may join one. Another main reason is to get the right to brag to friends and family. For whatever reason that one may have to choose to join it is a good idea to get prepared beforehand this is why they should get tips on how to train for and run a marathon.

You do not want to start the race only to drop out because you do not have the right gear. Getting a good fitting shoe that will not by any chance give you blisters is a great place to start. The shoe needs to be light while at the same time giving the much needed support that one needs. Wearing them to a shorter race just to feel how comfortable they are is a good idea.

One should not forget about the clothing articles. The shirt should not be cotton one might suffocate in it. The recommended material is nylon for its lightness. Wear the outfit at least once to feel how comfortable the outfit is.

You have to test how fit you are. For this reason about a month to the big race you should run a shorter race that will give you a mental lift. If you cannot find a race to participate in, you can gather a few friends to run with you. Have a higher speed that one you intend on using on the big day.

You want to be comfortable with the topography of where you are racing at. This is why you should run up hills and down valleys if that is the kind of topography that the courses will have. Running a flat area might seem easy but in actual sense it is hard and tiring because you use the same muscles.

Keeping your body hydrated is very important to avoid collapsing during the day. In case it is possible take the sport drink that will be made available to you on the day and also at the same frequency that it will be available to you on that day.

As the marathon draws close it is wise to get a confidence boast. You can do this by running a shorter course in the running shoes as well as in the clothes that you will use on that day, do this four to three days before the race.

Advise is given that you train at the same time everyday this is so that the body can have the rhythm especially when it comes to bath room breaks. This kind of training can be very difficult for those that are not disciplined enough.
