MARATHON FEVER GRIPS THE CITY, ARE YOU READY?

Marathon is a good way to encourage people to find time to exercise on a daily basis. To run a marathon, it is vital for a person to be physically fit before and after the run. For those gearing up for the marathon, here are some tips:

§  Training for such an event has to begin one month before the actual event. That is, if they are in prime condition. Timely rehearsal is a must, along with a proper diet.

§  It is important to stay hydrated during the training and the actual event. It not only quenches thirst but also balances the electrolyte levels.

§  The key to overcome such a long distance run lies in the maintenance of constant pace throughout.

§  Another tip pro-runners live by is breathing through the nose while running to reduce the loss of energy.

§  Proper exercise is required both before and after the run to prevent muscle pulls.

§   Leg weights, during training, are of great importance not only in increasing speed, but stamina as well.
