How to train up your distance running strength - part one

I'm not a sport genius or expert. However if talking about running, especially the distance running, I'm proud for my current training result.

My distance running life is started by year 2002. I'm a VERY FAT guy at that time, the weight is close to 180 pounds. Do you find that I'm very fit in the facebook gadget and doubt about it?? This is normal and I think even the past of me was also difficult to believe my current achievement. For some reason (I will tell you health officially :P), I needed to pick an exercise as my long term hobby. I had considered other exercise such as badminton which is my another favor sport. But I found that running is the most efficient and simplest exercise, and it was quite suitable to me since my first priority at that time was burning the fat. What needed to equip for the running is just only a pair of shoes and my determination. Afterward, I begun my running life.

Marathon becomes popular

I still remembered when I asked my friend to come with me to participate marathon, they would say I was mad and considered marathon was a mission impossible task. I played Standard Chartered Marathon for 3 years now. This year is something different to the past 3 years. This time the number of friends joined the marathon is a new record. There are about 10 persons, it is a new record.

I always tell my friend that 10km marathon is nothing special. It is just a simple exercise and supposed everyone who is health can also finish the race even they are lack of exercise. Might be my talking was successfully to influence my friends, or after they attended the running practice, they also felt the marathon challenge is feasible to them. This year is the most exciting time, since I can race with many friends. Past year my record is 2 hours to finish the half marathon. Wished I can break my personal record too this year.
