A marathon race requires the participant to run an unbelievable 26.2 miles. So it goes without saying that the marathon is an unusually long race and requires optimal fitness levels, which can take months to achieve. So if your aim is to take part in the annual New York City Marathon which will be held in November this year, you need to start preparing right now!
A few caveats though. As wondrous as the human body is with all those exceptional cases, it is not advisable for people of an advancing age, with no prior running and jogging experience to participate in a marathon, or even train for it. Even people with heart related illnesses are better off not running the marathon. While it is alright to participate all for the fun of it, participating to win it may not be an achievable ideal. After all, safety comes first!
