You are thinking about running a marathon, but don’t know where to begin when it comes to choosing which one to run. Well ask yourself this question, would you like to run a marathon in a foreign country or city, are you wanting to travel, or stay close to home?

Also, do you want to run a path that is flat, hilly, steep, or a mixture? In order to find the right marathon for you, I recommend doing your research on the internet and going from there.

After you have chose what marathon it is you want to run, you will need to setup a training schedule so that way you are able to prepare your body for the upcoming race. The first thing you should do is make sure that you have the proper gear such as shoes, there are many brands available.

Next thing you want to do is start running, pick at least four days to run, but space them out, and start off running at least two miles each day, on a flat surface, and as you excel in doing that, you will want to increase the number of miles, as well as hilly surfaces, and rough surfaces. You will want to start your training at least six months prior to the race, maybe even a year. Make sure to increase your speed with your runs, but also rotate from slow to fast.

Always remember the week before the race, make sure you taper off you runs and do not over exert yourself.
