One goal that many women set for themselves at some point in their lives is to complete a half or full marathon. It is definitely a challenging endeavour, and can offer a lot of personal satisfaction once accomplished.
More than a race along, a marathon has a whole spirit to itself, from a pre-marathon meet and greet, to the pre-race carb-up meal, followed by the massages offered to participants after the race and the post-run celebration feast. It’s easy to make a complete weekend out of a marathon event and really enjoy yourself in the process.
One issue that many women face when starting to train for a marathon is a noticeable weight gain. You would think that with the ever increasing amount of running, they would be dropping pounds without any real effort, but often it’s the exact opposite. What gives?
