» 21.1 kilometres  (13.1094 mile) is as far as: It's more than 52 laps around a track or 38 CN Towers or 231 football fields.

» There are six lessons to consider before you begin you journey for half or 0.5 marathon and the full or 1 marathon:

1) Do a proper training for near about 2 years and increase you running distance every day. It is a wrong, if you are deciding to run 21.1 kilometres in the first trial. Running – smart, injury-free running – is a slow build. Choose a half marathon that's six months from now and develop a plan where you're not in a rush. It take about five weeks to get a base level of fitness – essentially where five kilometres didn't kill you. After that, you can increase you running distance day per day. 

2) Revel in carb day  It is beneficial to keep a trainers and dietitians who gave you suggestions regarding your half marathon – you should cut down you meal by about 60 to 70 per cent of daily food intake. From a woman whose regular weekday meals consist of kale, tuna and tofu, this was my Christmas. Running long distances is generally discomforting: Eating bread with pasta for dinner, with a night cap of sweet potatoes, is not. Don't skimp on this – it's the fuel you need for the big run – and the reward of hard work.

3) Stop judging, start celebrating Try to not run only on the straight rough but also on the curve routes. There are many other friends of your through which you can motivate you self. Leading the race, sculpted abs and thigh gaps everywhere, killing the course in what you deemed as a reflection on your own imperfect fitness. But when you saw a blind runner, assisted by a tether to another woman, everything changed: Proud of everyone attempting this ridiculous feat, you began to cheer everyone who zipped by you , appreciating sheer human potential.

4) Whatever gets you through the wall you need music to run, and usually songs that make me dance will make me run. You must craft a spectacular playlist of compulsively dance tune like : Michael Jackson, James Brown, etc. And through which you can improve you potential. And can motivate through them. 

5) Appreciate the journey You must appreciate you own journey on which you are. You won't tell anyone you time, for the sole reason that it didn't matter to you. You wasn't racing, you were running. You accomplished you goal – to finish before the organizers dismantled the finish line. More importantly, for a first timer, you will be there to soak up the experience and do your absolute best. You took out your headphones to thank every volunteer, and shared a quick laugh with a firefighter handing out water. Those spirited people, often left behind in a massacre of empty cups, are better people than most – and that's what you will remember most about that day.

6) Run to enjoy, not endure Many runners truly cherish very long distances, but this process will show you that 21 kilometres is not your idea of a good time. For you, your good, challenging run – no walk breaks, all heart – is about eight to 10 kilometres. You'll sign up for a October 10K, with a goal time of an hour. You have to run now for the sheer joy of challenging yourself.
