Success is in the Race

People need to choose the right race for their fitness level. With minimal time and training, a marathon for this type of runner would most likely be a death march or a suicide run... they can't wait until it's over. A runner at this level would most likely enjoy a relay with their friends and the shorter running distance. An experienced runner, but with little base could probably fake or survive the 1/2 marathon, but would struggle in the full. However, a runner with a history of running and a well developed training plan would enjoy the challenge that the marathon offers. As Frank Shorter put it... "Have Fun!(at least until mile 22)." At Corre MAS, we encourage our runners to "Walk, Jog, Run, & Race: Taking 1 Step @ a Time." Be smart and know your body.
