The marathon is one of the most difficult running events to train for. It requires tremendous effort over a long period of time, and can be rather intimidating for those who are not in good physical condition or have never competed in a marathon before. However, with the right training, anyone can complete a marathon.
-Choose a marathon date and location that works best for you. Once you have registered, use the time between now and the marathon to practice your running skills.
-Start out by running one mile at least three times per week. If you do not feel comfortable running more than a mile at this time, consider using an elliptical trainer or stationary bike to build up your endurance.
-As your endurance increases, continue to add additional miles each week until you reach 8-10 miles during each training session. Consider adding sprints and interval training as well.
-Schedule regular rest days into your training schedule so that your muscles have time to recover before your next workout session.
-Eat nutritious food, a lot of fruits and less fat, you will need to have glucose by your side and ensure you take a cool bath after training everyday.
