At Handy, we are always looking to do new things. This past year, we gave a good hard look at why we should run a marathon. After all, it can be quite intimidating to run 26.2 miles for seemingly no reason. It is quite the opposite, many people run marathons for a variety of reasons, but number one is for health. While running a marathon on a daily basis will not get you or keep you healthy, it will do the opposite. You need time for your body to recover. That is more details that you need at this point, we are more focused on why you should run a marathon, not how frequently you should.
Miles and Miles of Reasons
So, you have been like us and contemplating running a marathon. You are just in need of one final reason to push you over the edge. We think that you will find that reason on this list. So, without further ado, we give you the reasons we think you need to run a marathon before the end of the year.
  • Get fit – All the training that you will do to actually run in the marathon will get you into the best shape of your life. You can’t say that when you were younger that you were because you weren’t out running marathons then either. So, start with the basics. Don’t push yourself too hard too fast, our you will find that you will injure yourself or worse yet, give up. Start off by walking longer distances which will build your stamina. After that, start running and gradually increase that distance. Before you know it, you will be very close, and you will take the leap of faith.
  • Charity – Almost every marathon has a charity that it donates too. As a part of your entry fee, you will be donating to charities that are in desperate need of donations. Why not kill two birds with one stone? You will achieve a monumental goal and give back at the same time. In a recent study, most of the people surveyed admit it is the reason that they started running marathons, to begin with.
  • Step out of your comfort zone – We live our lives every day not doing much, and we become complacent. This will give you a chance to do something new that you never thought possible. Along the way, you might even make some friends that you never thought you would have. So, get off the couch from reading this article and get to running. You will be happy that you did.
Conclusion
Handy is not going to tell you that this is going to be easy because it most certainly will not. You are going to need to train for a long time for a 5-hour run (give or take depending on your level of training). Along the way, you might discover new things about yourself and new passions in life. You may also make some friends that you will spend the rest of your life running with. It is never too late to start training, so get out there and run!
