During the weeks and months before a marathon, you should log your progress. You will learn how to perform better, and even learn more about yourself.
Footwear
- Cushioned shoes; most running shoes have at least 300+ miles of cushioning.
- Also have cushioned socks that absorb moisture
Advancing Mileage
