A marathon is the classic distance and a hugely rewarding experience. Here’s how you can successfully train for your first 26.2 miles this spring
Marathon training
Running a marathon is a huge achievement. Getting to the start line fit, healthy and fully prepared is a challenge in itself. If you’re planning to take on running 26.2 miles this spring, you’ll need to dedicate yourself to training for the next few months. But it will all be worThit when you cross that finish line and receive your medal.
Marathons have been growing in popularity as more and more runners look to push themselves over longer distances. And, after saying they’ll only do it once, many go on to run more than one marathon. It’s good to remember this because it means that while it’s going to be hard work, there’s clearly something magical about the marathon that keeps drawing runners back.
