You can see them working on their bodies at gyms and running away from a cute cupcake like it was the second coming of the exorcist. These people are also generally found running marathons. I have always envied these people because, let’s face it how many of us can even run for half an hour, let alone win a race or participate in a marathon. This post is about marathon preparation that these people take up. In case you are one of these people who likes to run marathons or you wish to be, doesn’t hurt to know, does it?
