Marathon is an athletics race at a distance of 42 km.195 m. An Olympic sport. Running marathons are most often held on highways or in city parks. For mass competitions, entire streets are often blocked. So the Moscow Marathon in 2016 was run by more than 10,000 people and a large number of central streets were blocked. The term itself is often used to refer to cross-country runs, but should not be confused with cross-country running.
A half marathon is a 21 km race. 97.5 m, which is half the marathon. It is also a popular discipline in road running. It is worth noting that, unlike the marathon, the half marathon is not an Olympic discipline, but such races attract the attention of all amateurs and athletes.
Greek mythology tells of the warrior Pheidippides, who ran from the ancient Greek city of Marathon to Athens without stopping. The warrior sought to convey the news of the victory at the Battle of Marathon. Having reached, Pheidippides fell dead, but announced to the Athenians.
The distance from Marathon to Athens is 34.5 km. At first Olympic Games modern marathon race took place on this distance. The current length of the running marathon at 42.195 km was established in 1921 by the athletics federation.
World marathons are held according to certain rules, which are developed by AIMS (association of international marathons and races). The rules of running marathons are confirmed by the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations).
Traditionally, since 2004, the men's marathon is the final athletics discipline at the Olympic Games. All world records are recorded to the nearest second. The women's record was set by Paula Radcliffe in the London Marathon. She ran the distance in 2 hours 15 minutes 25 seconds.
In the men's marathon, the record is 2 hours 2 minutes 57 seconds. This record was set by Dennis Kimetto in 2014, participating in the Berlin Marathon. The Kenyan runner caused a wave of discussion about the two-hour milestone, but the world record was never broken.
Not so long ago, the Nike brand announced an event related to setting a new record - 1 hour 59 minutes 59 seconds. The only mystery is how and in what way the assembled team will be able to achieve this result. It is known that tremendous work will be carried out on the following points: conditions, track, clothes and shoes, training and nutrition. Let's not hide, Nike is far from the only team that has planned such a project.
A running marathon is a discipline not only for professionals, but also for beginners and runners. The athletics marathon is, without a doubt, the hardest running discipline. The organizers of the marathon races care about the health and comfort of the participants. There are often points on the track where runners are offered water and food that increase tone and energy.
In many cities of the world, specialized running schools have already appeared, where the athlete is offered individual training.
In the calendar of track and field races, everyone will find for himself the competition and the distance that he can and wants to run. Marathon running is a modern culture, because every year, more than 800 races are held in all countries of the world. Marathon races are also developing in Russia, and there are more and more people who want to run a marathon or half marathon every year.
