By Tarikul Haque


When you are in marathon training, you are running hundreds and thousands of kilometers which ends up with burning calories. Calories rather energy is like fuel to your body. Training for a marathon is a great excuse to start eating more wholesome food, which is what you've constantly hunted, right? The good part is, because you're going to be burning so many more calories, you may in fact find that you're able to eat more than you regularly do. You'll still need to notice to making lower fat choices, but you'll get to focus on items such as pasta, bread, and potatoes in order to fuel your workouts.

So how precisely do you train for this type of event? You have lots of options in your hand and naturally people look for a regular session or at least thrice in a week for a good start. This will set you up with a good way to set up yourself for the race, so when the day lastly comes, you will be able to come out on top and perform to the best of your talent. The training for this type of marathon requires switching off and on, doing speed-walking one day and running the next.

Marathon is different from other sports by its distance measure. Working your way up to 26.2 miles without giving way to any one of the many bear traps waiting is the dare you face, and it is a face up to win! Too many people start out full blazes and either train too hard, burning out or succumbing to injury or just train indecently and never see any noteworthy progress and as a result they give up. Do you think that you can complete marathon in the first go by following only 10 week marathon training schedule? Well, that's likely impractical. But at the same time it is feasible.

Before you even step one foot on to the pitch, there a few very important points you need to be careful before starting any beginners marathon training schedule: -

#1 Give Your Body an Overhaul Before starting any form of activity or exercise it is strongly advised to get a check up from your doctor. There may be some underlying health issues that you weren't conscious of that can affect your ability to run. Any troublesome injuries or long term joint troubles also need to be rectified.

#2 Invest In Your Interest The very minimum requirements you need are at least one good pair of running shoes, ideally selected for you by staff who have access to gait analysis software, usually found at the better running stores.

It is very important to understand the way your body should respond to training and more significantly how that training should be planned. In addition to learning how to spot the signs of over training and fuelling your body to get the best results, it is going to be essential that you learn all you can about the subject.

#3 Build A Solid Foundation Of Fitness At the start you will more than likely be extremely eager to train, but you should be wary of doing this. Instead start off slowly and increase distances and speeds as you become more capable and less challenged. I suggest that you leave at least 24 - 48 hours in between particularly challenging runs to begin with, but listen to your body and take longer to recover if you need it.
