| What's more exciting than finishing a marathon? Nothing really beats the thrill of knowing that you are one of the few that have the strength to run 26.2 miles and cross the finish line as a hero. Training for such an event will take a lot of time, patience, discipline, strength, and, of course, a lot of running. Getting and staying motivated until the end will strengthen your character and help you cross the finish line.The first thing you should worry about, when starting your training for a marathon, is buying the right shoes, because they will be your best friends throughout your training. What can you expect from a good pair of running shoes? You will expect them to fit perfectly on your foot so that you will have good balance. You can expect that they will protect you from most injuries. They will also help keep your spine straight.When you think about it, running shoes play a lot of roles and that is precisely the reason that you should pay the extra $50 for a good pair, instead of buying a cheap one that can jeopardize your whole training. The cheap running shoes, although they may look like the real deal, will not relieve shock, which is bad for your backbone. They will not provide the support for your low, high, or normal arch foot. And they will not be made out of quality products. What kind of rubber do you think goes into making the sole of a $10 shoe?If you are interested in learning more about choosing a running shoe and what is the perfect shoe for marathon running, you can visit one of the sites with the most expertise on this subject.
