Why Train for a Marathon?
“Running is the classical road to self-awareness, self-consciousness, and self-reliance. Independence is the outstanding characteristic of the runner. He learns the harsh reality of his physical and mental limitations when he runs. He learns that personal commitment, sacrifice and determination are his only means to betterment…” – Noel Carroll, American philosopher.

Running the marathon is a true test of commitment to all the training that is required to get round the course. The dedicated marathon runner needs proper training and good diet but also needs mental ability to overcome the pain that arises during the 42KM run.
