Running a Marathon - The realbuzz.com Beginn...( LONDON October 6 /- With 120000 r...),Health

LONDON, October 6 /PRNewswire/ -- With 120,000 runners recently finding out whether they have successfully got a ballot place in the 2010 Virgin London Marathon, a buzz of activity is surrounding next year's iconic race. The results of the ballot have been announced and those lucky enough to have secured their 'own place' will be jumping for joy. And those unlucky in the official ballot this year, will be scouring through the hundreds of charities offering 'Gold Bond' places, and running for a cause close to their heart. Once a place is assured - everything is focused on training and finding a suitable training plan, to ensure that the 26.2 miles is achievable, regardless of experience, age, and speed.

So, if you're one of those lucky people planning to run on 25th April 2010, here are few tips to help you get started, and help you to answer the question that's no doubt hovering around in your head...

    Can I really train for a marathon?

    - If you haven't exercised in a while, get a check up from the doctor to
      ensure you're fit enough to do the training, as well as the final race.

    - Evaluate your fitness levels; you need to know where you are before you
      can progress, so sit down, and honestly assess your fitness levels.

    - Select a training plan. Trying to prepare for a marathon without a
      training plan is like trying to find a new town, without map. To
      successfully set off on this journey towards marathon success, you need
      to follow a structured training plan that is right for your fitness
      levels.

    - Get the right gear. Quite simply to start with you need basic shorts
      and t-shirt (and for the ladies a fitted sports bra). But as you
      progress with the training you will undoubtedly want to get clothing
      that won't chafe, and will suit the season you're training in. However,
      you should really invest in a pair of trainers that suit your running
      style
