whether you’re running for a charity or
running to win completing a marathon can
be exhilarating and rewarding hi i’m
veronica watchmojo.com and today we’re
learning everything there is to know
about participating in a marathon first
of all what are some great reasons to
run a marathon some people say the
marathon is one of the greatest
metaphors for life you’re actually
living it the 26.2 miles is a long way a
lot can happen after you signed up what
should the first step you take be
well you hopefully have a plan okay
leading up to it but it’s not a race
that can take in lightly and just
register two weeks in advance and just
do it unless you’re really well trained
and you need to work up to it what are
some great motivators that people can
choose from a great motivator could be
for somebody is just to lose ten pounds
it could be to get faster to run a
faster marathon if you’re already ran
one do you just need to run to prepare
do you need to consider your nutrition
and hydration as well you are what you
eat so you want to eat properly you
always want to drink when you’re thirsty
most people need at least a basin in
strength training what’s the biggest
rookie mistake
stirring too fast you’re excited you’re
there everybody’s excited and it’s very
easy just to get carried away in and go
way faster than which you’re supposed to
so is there any truth to the tortoise
and the hare theory
you’re better off running a kiss is
either consistent race or just picking
it up at the end rather than starting
too fast and crashing and burning before
the actual finish line does everyone
know how to run correctly not really
there’s a lot of things that runners can
learn on how to run more efficiently in
actually saving themselves from a lot of
injuries and issues in the long run so
you’re gonna perfect my run right now
yes absolutely so going there and back
exactly
that’s perfect
alright so you’re you’re a heel striker
also you tend to not move your arms a
lot not use the upper body a lot and
that that’s something that you could
work on so first we’ll start with with
the proper proper alignment I want you
to be s really straight from from being
from the hips all the way up to the
shoulders and make sure your head is his
balance and it’s over your shoulders and
on the front of your body lean forward
from the ankles so I fall into it
falling 2015 I’m going to lean from the
from the ankles and start picking myself
up
are you kind of swiping the floor yes so
as soon as the foot it’s going to strike
the ground you want to pick it back up
so that minimizes the ground contact so
you’re always using gravity to your
advantage
we’re going to bend the elbows at 90
degrees and make sure the movement
happens at the shoulders not at the
elbows what’s the most common mistake
that you find over straining people tend
to want to learn way way ahead of
themselves and that leads to greater
stress on the body and greater stress on
the joints and also it just essentially
slows you down a lot so there anything
else we need to know about this remember
proper proper alignment for up refers
training and using gravity to your
advantage
landing as lightly as possible and it’s
it’s all a matter of practice you just
need to practice it it’ll it’ll become
you know in no time it’ll become just
muscle memory and you won’t even have to
think about it was just it’s just gonna
happen so with all the practice I’ll be
faster yeah absolutely
way more efficient thank you so much
that’s a pleasure
