Our bodies crave exercise, and reward us in so many ways when we do so.
Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.
To finish will leave you feeling like a champion and positively change your life.
Here is the start, there is the finish line. Between that, you have to run.
The more you frame the marathon as a stressful experience, the more negative messages you'll receive. But it's just as easy to frame it as a positively challenging journey.
When using the run-walk method to finish a marathon, the most important walk break comes in the first mile. The second most important one comes in the second mile, and so on. The point is, walk before you become fatigued.
