It’s true, training is a good idea if you are thinking of running a marathon. This is something that I have suspected for awhile, but now I have proof. From an Expert.

I saw this video on Runner’s World… It is a piece filmed just prior to the recent New York marathon

Busting Marathon Myths (Click the Link)

Feel free to watch the video for yourself, or just read my summary, below:

Dr Marc Siegel says:

• Carbo loading does not work
• 40 % of marathoners experience muscle cramps
• Runners are more susceptible to stress fractures – particularly if you don’t train properly
• You need to train for a marathon. You should start around 6 months before race day.

So there you go… Expert proof of what we have long suspected!
