When I started running as part of my routine (i meant 4 days a week) workout for running a marathon, during my first day I couldn't run more than a 0.5 km and I felt body ache, calf muscle cramps, and thought of giving up. But event though I ran few distance on that day, I felt active for rest of the day. Then I came to know that's the way running (magic) works.
Then from that day onwards I found out how running could
improves the body metabolism. Here I am
talking about long run/marathon not a small sprint. You will feel good when the body sweat a lot
and it means you are hot :),
when you warm up or work out. So the best way to get start is, by slow jog for
every day for a stipulated time. By slow jogging you could understand your body
to find out how far and how long you could run, so from there you could
increase the time and distance. When you
are in the long run, you can feel the adrenaline rush that’s keeps you
motivating. That’s test of runners endurance.
When I planned to start the preparation for a marathon, I
did not have idea for half/full marathon because the run may mess you up
completely, without the proper preparation. So I decided to start from 10 KM
and after a 30 days preparation(diet/work out). Diet is one of the primary
thing you should really work on it and you anyone can find the right one during
the preparation in web. I have completed my Wipro Chennai Marathon by 1:02
minutes and that’s my PB :)
(personal best) . There are lot of blogs, training guidelines available in
the web and make use of it.
I hope every one in their life time would have a memory of running a marathon.
