Beyond his professional obligations, Hugh Ray III takes part in triathlons and marathons. Training for a marathon can take a lot of time and effort. The following tips can help you prepare.
1. Choose the right footwear. Purchase sneakers or running shoes that fit your feet perfectly, which may mean trying out different brands due to slight differences in width. If you plan to complete a full marathon, you may want to consider getting fitted at a pro running store.
2. Protect against blisters. The right socks will keep your feet cushioned and protect against blisters. Double-layered socks work well for this.
3. Increase mileage gradually. Gradually increasing your running mileage over the course of your training will heighten your stamina and further your ability to complete the marathon. Consider an increase of approximately one to two miles per week, and make sure you start training early enough to fit this into your training schedule.
4. Alternate easy and hard training days. Alternating between easy days of training and harder ones helps to prevent burnout. Refrain from undertaking hard training two days in a row, even if you miss a day. This allows the body to recuperate and fosters strength and stamina.
5. Incorporate rest days. Incorporating rest days into your training schedule allows your muscles to recover from taxing workouts and helps protect against injury. You can engage in mild physical activity during rest days, such as walking, yoga, or swimming.
