A PROSE ABOUT SNEAKERS & MARATHON
2023 JANUARY ISSUE
Written by Andrew Sia
This piece is related to the piece about the sneakers. It is so inspiring that one thing leads to another, we started to pay attention to the marathons around us.
It is becoming a very important event, and some of them have drawn marathon runners from across the world.
Running is the sport that you are competing against yourself. It can become addicted as moving from breaking the personal record is something that motivates the running.
We are beginning to notice that there are more and more people around us that take part in the marathon, whether it is regional or international.
This was written at the posting of the history of sneakers:
A young friend of mine from the industry stopped by in New York to pay us a visit
Told us that he just ran the Chicago marathon with the result of 04:07:20 for 26.2 miles
He was one of the 64% of male runners in the league; this is incredible for a fourth-time marathon runner
Only those elite runners average about 2:05:00 but they are regular marathon runners
Age group plays a big factor in running time
Although marathon runners often improve as they get older with experience
In marathon you work on your personal average running time
Beating your personal best and improve your record over time
Marathon began in ancient Greece, running length was about 192 meters
You compete against yourself and not with other runners
You gain experience, hold your stamina, and use it wisely
Your mind and determination are the two most important factors
You need good training and good rest before the marathon
Choose the best running shoes that fit your feet
Have a good and balanced mental state of mind
Have a can-do attitude to pull yourself through
Global average running time is 4:21:00
Men’s average stands around 4:13:00 while women at 4:42:00
This achievement of my friend is something he should be proud of
It shows the determination in doing things right, no matter what
There are more International Marathons waiting out there
New York, London, Berlin and Tokyo
Make sure that one’s health can handle this physical challenge
Always have the good physicians who follow closely
After all, life is a marathon, and remember we are competing with ourselves
