Every runner has run that first marathon. It can be a scary thought of logging all those miles, more than you probably run in a month, in a four-hour period. Here’s a great resource that can help you with planning, training and gearing up mentally for your first marathon!

How do I prevent running injuries?I injured myself several times now while running. I thought, in order to prevent these injuries I need to understand why they happen in the first place. It is a bit obvious, since in a way I am torturing my body and a while ago I didn’t. Still, I started doing some research to at least find out how to minimize these injuries.

1. Wearing Proper Shoes - I actually went to pediatrist to check my feet and shoes didn’t seem to be a problem. I think this is a fairly decent shoe that I’m wearing, but I’ll probably get something a bit better. By that I mean making sure that if fits better and it’s easy to walk. This is common sense, nothing new.
