Learning this sport is a valuable addition to your life. Let us know about a few steps you need to gear up before starting.
Training Requires Patience
As running engages your core, it requires us to be active for a long time. The training is comprehensive. There are several steps like strength training, basic cardio, interval training which are required for properly running a marathon.
Pace Training
Also known as the run-walk method, this is one of the most important parts of the training. It teaches you how to cover the entire distance without feeling fatigued. This helps to alternate run with walking so that the entire distance is completed properly.
Learning Basic Cardio and Warmup
Sports injuries have become very common and thus basic exercise before any sport is mandatory. Cardio including stand jogging, jumping jacks and jogging would help muscles to get adjusted to the motion and would curb any sudden injury caused by rapid movement.

Hydration
Marathon is an energy consuming exercise. It needs the athletes to be energetic and they must overcome several hurdles to reach the finish line. Having adequate amount of water would help you to be hydrated and energetic throughout your run. A lot of organizers often
provide water stalls between the destination where they hand the runners with small water pouches to keep them hydrated.
Consistency Training
An athlete needs to get control of their speed in this sport. If they jumpstart with a lot of speed, there are high chances that a person would lack energy and would reach their finish line later.
Marathon Training is a really fun filled process, and it targets a lot of areas along with fitness namely discipline, confidence, competency and agility. This is a must learn for anyone who wishes to give a special boost to their marathon career.
