So you want to run a Marathon ?

Marathon ?? What ?? Ok, Marathon is a long-distance running event of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles 385 yards) that can be run either as a road race or off-road (for example, on mountain trails).

I got inspired from this story ,please follow link here

Phew !!! Its indeed Inspiring ,wasn't it ??? So people run Marathons not for the sake of winning (Kenyans are an exception!!!). So you can run marathons for a cause and please get in contact with the best of the NGO's.

So do you want to run a Marathon ??? , keep the following things in mind.

1. Know what you are in for

2. Get the right gear

3. Eat right

4. Training is a must

5. Sign up for the race.

ok fair enough , but how does it benefit me ??

* Increased energy
* Improved health
* A sense of accomplishment
* Increased discipline
* Quality time outdoors
* A chance to show off to the opposite sex that you can do it
* Of course, great-looking legs (Never underestimate the power of lean, muscular legs.)

Get Inspired!!!
