Runners who have experience in marathon competitions will understand that the body needs to experience long-term overload during running, and runners must use a strong will to control their mind and body.
The process of a marathon is also a process of confrontation between the runner's body and the will. The runner's body continuously sends signals to the brain to stop running. At this time, the runner's will will play a major role, and he will guide you to run forward. If your will is defeated by physical signals, you will also stop the marathon. This is a contest between mind and body. The longer the distance, especially after 30 kilometers, the stronger the contest. Therefore, a real marathon test is usually in the last 10 kilometers.
Age is not a gap, a marathon allows you to start a new life
If you want to start a new way of life, run a marathon! Marathon allows you to gain spiritual strength.
Marathon is a sport that tests endurance. People's age does not mean the decline in endurance sports performance, some people are better. Generally, the age of marathon participants is between 20 and 50. Among them, most runners are between 30 and 40. They usually finish the race in about 4 hours.
Among marathon participants, the proportion of women is increasing. Although their physical fitness is different from that of men, their grades are also slower. However, the proportion of participants has increased year by year, reflecting women's love for this lifestyle.
Every runner who completes the marathon is a winner, no matter how long it takes to reach the finish line. As long as you work hard, even if you use it for a long time, you will get applause.
Every healthy person can be a good runner
With the development of marathon sports, most of the marathon runners are amateur runners. Every serious amateur runner should have his own sports goals. For male runners under the age of 40, the best performance is within 3 hours, and for female runners under the age of 40, the best performance is within 3 hours and 20 minutes. After the age of 40, a person's physical fitness drops by 1.5% every 5 years.
This decline in physical fitness is not unbreakable. If you keep working 5 days a week and spend 1.5 hours training every day, you can achieve your goal through 1 to 2 years of training.
