Skip trying to simply sweat off the pounds with saunas and sweat suits. For true, lasting weight loss, instead keep your focus on a consistent, balanced workout plan and a healthy diet with the right caloric deficit.
I'm thinking about training for a marathon. A marathon is 26.2 miles or 42 kilometers. Although some marathons differ in their terrain (some are very flat, some are extremely hilly) and degree of difficulty, the distance is always 26.2 miles. Races that are shorter or longer in distance have different names (such as 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or ultra-marathon).
The official distance of a half marathon is exactly 13.1094 miles. For those who prefer the metric equivalent it is 21.0975 Km. So, as you start to make your plans, the focus should be on being able to run 13 miles or 21 kilometres. The extra little distance will take care of itself.he half marathon is an endurance race as it is over a long distance so stamina and then speed will always determine your best time. The fitter that you can become at running long distances then the better chance you will have of improving times. Age is also important.
