26.2 Marathon training tips
The marathon. One of the toughest distances to tackle, yet one of the most self satisfying distances to accomplish. It isn’t easy, but definitely not impossible. I’ve done many and plan to do many more. Call me crazy but the feeling of exhaustion, tired legs, running miles after miles, to then get to the finish…
