Pick Up The Tips About Things That Marathon Training Plans Leave Out!

Completing a marathon is a feeling like no other. For most people, it ranks as one of the most thrilling accomplishments on their life's resume. Once you've trained for and finished a marathon, you'll have the feeling there is little in life that is outside your grasp if you are determined to grasp it.

The standard length of a marathon training program is 18 weeks. As a first time marathoner, you will have a lot of questions during those 18 weeks. The task at hand is daunting and even the best prepared marathoner will make mistakes. The myriad of decisions that you are faced with in the weeks leading up to the event will pale in comparison to the deluge of things you will need to think about on race day. The stress and rush of emotions that you will be faced with in the days leading up to the marathon do not lend themselves to sound decision making. There will be things you forget about, or don't consider at all. And having something spring up in front of you when you are in a panic approaching the starting line is not the way to start one of the most thrilling journeys of your life.
