Life Is A Marathon
Oct 6th 2009Business & Health & Sports
My friends know I’m a distance runner (I do it for fun!). I’ve run three marathons (each time qualifying for Boston) as well as many shorter races. Qualifying for Boston is a difficult challenge for a recreational runner like me. When you have a busy job, family and community commitments and health and financial considerations, it’s hard to make the time for all the training required to achieve that level of fitness. To run a marathon, one must train for a minimum of 18 weeks and be in good physical condition to start with. The training includes running 5 or 6 days a week including long runs of 20 – 34 kms on the weekend.
