6 steps for first time marathoners

If running a marathon is something you really want to do, we have 6 steps that will help you make your maiden run a good one.  Here are the tips from active.com.

1.  Commit.  It's one thing to say you're going to run one.  It's another to actually sign up for one and commit to doing it.

2.  Connect.  The website suggests finding people either at a running store or other places to help you motivate to train.

3.  Conspire.  Pick the right training plan to make sure you're ready for the race.

4.  Consistency.  Make sure your plan is something you can do consistantly over a long period of time.

5.  Doubt.  At some point during your training, you will doubt whether you can actually finish the marathon. 

6.  Conserve. "Once you are in a running groove, you’ll find that running is pretty effortless."
