Here are the reasons why you should not overdo it.

Mad Over Marathon!

Marathons are all the rage nowadays, but the demanding distances are not for everyone. So, here are some of the things to consider.

Marathon participation around the world is nowadays booming. Given the number which is supported by the data, it is obvious that running the vaunted 26-mile distance is quickly becoming the de facto goals for many of the beginner runners.

Some of the experienced runners are increasingly magnetized to the popular distance as an opportunity to compare with the personal bests with their running buddies. When it seems like everyone is training for a marathon, then the pressure to run one yourself can seem to be so much daunting.

So, let us have a look at why temporarily reconsidering your marathon racing plans might pay off for you in the long run path.
