Tips for beginners running a marathon

By Anujj Trehaan

1

Don't ignore the importance of training

You may have to conquer long distances, run on different terrains, and maintain your speed at regular laps, which you can only master through proper training and subsequent practices.

2

Take your nutrition seriously

Proper nutrition is crucial for strenuous physical activity like marathons. Focus on consuming more protein and carbs, and consider consulting a nutritionist for guidance.

3

Sleep more before you run a marathon

Sleep for at least 7-8 hours daily for a week before the marathon to improve performance and avoid the ill effects of sleep deprivation.

4

Wear the right running shoes

Wearing a pair of shoes that is uncomfortable and not equipped with the right material can injure you. Hence, it is important to invest in a pair that is specially designed for running.

5

Warm up before you begin

Warm-up exercises are crucial before any physical activity as they prepare the body, increase stamina, and reduce the risk of injuries.
