Watching the athletes at the Olympics can be very inspiring – and when it comes to running, the marathon distance is one of the most impressive. As a viewer (check out our guide to watching the Olympic marathon 2024) you will be amazed by the speed the Olympic marathon runners maintain for the full 26.2 miles of the race, but this running event is still achievable for many more “ordinary” runners. It just takes some focussed training, the right kit and footwear and the best choice of marathon race for you.
We bring you a guide to getting started with your marathon running goal.
