When training for your
marathon the
single biggest killer is going to be getting injured. If you are
injured then you can not train to the best of your ability and can
delay your marathon preparation by weeks if not months.
So
how do you prevent costly injuries?
The
best way is to make sure you have the correct trainers for training for
your marathon.
You
should look for a trainer that offers enough comfort and support.
This depends from athlete to athlete, but ideally your trainers should
be around 10-12 ounces in weight and offer enough rigidity for the
miles you will have to train, yet also enough
cushioning
to protect you from high stress levels.
The
best way to select your trainers is to go to a specialist athletics
store, such as `Athletes Foot' and let the store assistant know exactly
how many miles you will be training each week. Also let them know you
are after a shoe that offers a balance
between
adequate comfort and support.
As
a tip, make sure you wear the same socks when you are trying on your
shoes that you will use when you train. That way you will know that
your
shoes
are an exact fit and will minimize your risk of developing blisters
when you get into full training.
