Skip trying to simply sweat off the pounds with saunas and sweat suits. For true, lasting weight loss, instead keep your focus on a consistent, balanced workout plan and a healthy diet with the right caloric deficit.
I'm thinking about training for a marathon. A marathon is 26.2 miles or 42 kilometers. Although some marathons differ in their terrain (some are very flat, some are extremely hilly) and degree of difficulty, the distance is always 26.2 miles. Races that are shorter or longer in distance have different names (such as 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or ultra-marathon).
Most conventional marathon training plans call for peaking with a 20-mile long run. But some runners are finding that 20 miles doesnât prepare them well enough for the 26.2 mile distance, while other runners are able to run successful marathons by not running any 20 milers.
