Have you try Marathon before?

Yes, I've tried marathon before.

I've joined a 5k and 10k marathon before, but just for fun.

Marathon, I must say, is really a good sport because it could be of great help in making you fit, since it's a very good cardiovascular exercise.

I really have no training regimen, though, since I'm not joining marathons to compete but primarily to have fun and, hopefully, shed off some unwanted fats.

I surmise, however, that there are lots of training programs or plans over the internet, which you could easily access to help you out in crafting your own training program, if you want to augment your current regimen.

If ever you have upcoming competitions, serena_wai, break a leg!

yes, i did take competition in merdeka day marathon with my friends last few year before. i was suprise there were foreign took part in the competition too.we lose at the competition but we got lot of new friends.its was a very excited experience for me.

I haven't done a marathon yet, but I have done smaller races, and I just started training with an eventual marathon in mind (too bad I messed up my ankle, though.)

yes, i have tried running a marathon before, i think i was 16 years old then and it was kind of a requirement for school for us to have extra credit. i am not really the sporty type and so were my friends so we ended up as the bunch who finished last. we really didnt care though because it wasnt our goal to win, our goal was just to participate. lolz. it was really very tiring and i got all sweaty and to think that it was only a 5km marathon! how embarassing. my friends and i kept stopping at water stations just to drink water because like what i told you, we were not built for running and so we had a hard time keeping pace with other runners and we were not used to that kind of exercise since we were just the kinds who liked strolling in the malls. lolz.:)

Good for you, go and run, lady, run.

I suppose most people will just keep running and practicing as often as possible before the competition. Concentrate on distance running to gain your stamina and endurance. Forget about short sprints.

When I was in my school days, I participated in a 5km competition and came out 4th. Back then, the rain helped.

I am a long distance runner, so I've done lots of races. Everyone feels a bit nervous. Good idea to start training 3 days a week. Take it easy at first and you will see a lot of progress. How you eat is very important. Just like putting gas in the car in order for it to go, you need to put fuel in your tank in order for you to go. Make sure to eat plenty before you run...lots of good carbs, alittle bit of protein, and a little bit of fat. Refill the tank when you're done as well. Hope that helps!

Firstly good luck with your run next month, I admire you, I could never do a marathon myself, I do go to the gym five times a week but I prefer to body build than to run, I don't have the stamina for long distance running, and I prefer the treadmill it's easier for me.

i have not attend marathon.
it is because 42.9km is a very long distance.
And my friend have ended up his life in marathon .
I always recollect running with him.

But, i support you!take care,not to train so hard!

no,.,.,really well good luck you must be physically fit,.,.,.
all i ever tried it walking a long mile,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have always loved running and have been running on and off since childhood. Unfortunately I haven't run for long distances yet and since quite some time this thing is prompting me to take part in longer runs.

As a part of my fitness, I do run few miles often. But this goes on regularly for few months and then my routine breaks. Since 2 years or so it is in back of my mind to run for at least half marathon. But the biggest hurdle is my job as I don't get time for other activities.

Anyway, I wish you good luck. At least you are going in the right direction. Only thing I can suggest is that a lot of will power is needed for long distance runs and once you get in to rhythm it becomes easier.
