Why Everyone Should Train For Marathon Running tvdmexonline.com /train-for-marathon-running/ TVD

You should train for marathon running but not necessarily for the reason that you might think. May sound weird, but I don’t believe that getting fit is the main benefit when you train for marathon running. Don’t get me wrong here. I love being fit and in good physical condition as much as you do. But there is much more value in the activity when you train for marathon running than merely being more fit and getting a good physical condition. Also see my blog post, “7 Reasons Why Running And Online Entrepreneurship Make A Perfect Combination.” Even if I have been physically active whole my life, to train for marathon running in a serious way has only been on the agenda for ten years. If you belong to the baby boomer generation, as I do, you probably remember when jogging became something “cool” to do. Going back 50 years running wasn’t something that people were doing. If somebody went out for 3 miles run, it was something weird and far away from the ordinary. The publication of “The Joggers Manuel” by William Bowerman ” in the early 60 th, was in a way the start for running as a popular physical activity. Today running is one of the most popular physical activities around the globe. From being “reserved” for elite athletes, it’s today tricky even to get an opening to register to the most popular marathon races.

The Difference Between Jogging And To Train For Marathon Running Without comparing other sports, running is probably one of the easiest physical activities to practice. No need to depend on somebody else (as, for example, if you’re playing tennis, golf or doing any team sport.) You just decide to go out for a run, and as famous commercial slogan says: “Just Do It!” You don’t need any facility of any kind. Open the door wherever you are in the world, and start running any street, path or camp. It’s an inexpensive sport. Just invest in a pair of good running shoes, and voilà. When I started to train for marathon running ten years ago, it wasn’t the marathon race as such that triggered me to take up this activity on my agenda. It was something much more profound and challenging and to be honest; I had problems to identify the real reason for myself. See my article, “What Does A Runner Think About While Running.” 1/3
