The benefits of training for a marathon are a long list that includes health, psychological and social benefits. Let’s take a look at some of the main reasons.
 
Physical Benefits of Training for a Marathon:
  • One of the main reasons that individuals run and train for a marathon is to lose weight and for good reason, running burns tons of calories in a short amount of time. Running burns an average of 100-120 calories per mile. Thus, a person, training for a marathon, averaging 30-50 miles per week will burn an extra 3000-6000 calories week! The body requires a 3500 calorie deficit to lose one pound of fat, so you can see that training for marathon is a legitimate method to way lose.
  • Training for a marathon as the potential to lower your blood pressure. When you run, your arteries expand and contract as blood is pumped through them, thus maintaining the elasticity for the arteries and keep your blood pressure low.
  • Training for a marathon will keep your heart healthy and help prevent heart attacks. Even though your heart rate is increased during the time you run, sometimes to triple your resting heart rate, an inactive person’s heart will still beat up to 25 times more per minute, which is 36,000 per day than a runner’s heart!
  • Training for a marathon helps individuals make wise choices when it comes to diet and sleep. Most people find marathon training very daunting and will do everything in their power to increase their chances of successfully meeting their marathon goal.
