]]> Having the right equipment is essential if you want to be protected when doing any physical activity. Running shoes are the first thing you need to get if you are a runner. The rest of the athletic wear is not as important, but the safety of your feet is crucial. These tips will help you pick the best pair.

Make Sure They’re Lightweight

Running shoes are about having enough support on the feet, but they should not be heavy at all. Having a sneaker that is lightweight can help you so much during your everyday run. These materials are breathable, really adapt to your feet and are perfect for this physical activity.

Buy Running Shoes at the End Of the Day

Your legs can change in size from the morning to late at night. That’s why you should always try out sneakers at the end of the day. Your feet can be swollen, and you will be wearing them during all hours of the day. If the shoes are too tight, ask for a larger size.

Run Around the Store

Walking is not the same as running. Your foot makes completely different movements, so it’s really important to run around the store to test out the shoes.

]]> Training for a marathon is one of the most challenging feats you could possibly undertake, especially if you’re new to the whole thing. Follow these three essential steps if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the preparations.

Proper Pacing

Running a marathon isn’t just about speed, and endurance happens to be essential. Crossing the distance of 26.2 miles isn’t something you can do by going all in right from the start unless you want to burn out on the spot. Keep a slow pace throughout the race if you want to make it to the finish line.

Training Plan

Even if you’re a committed athlete, running a marathon still may prove as an extremely demanding challenge. You should commit to it if you want to succeed, and make a training plan that you’re going to stick to months before the actual race takes place.

Familiar Gear

Pick running shoes you’re going to wear during your race in and stick to them. They’re the most important part of your gear, and it’s important to get the right pair so you could go an extra mile. Also, avoid brand-new clothes during the race, and opt for pieces you felt comfortable in during your training.
