Hey everyone, Happy Freelance Friday & welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS Orange County Personal Trainer Blog! Today we’re celebrating the achievement of running a marathon! Here, we are celebrating Jungle Fitness Client Vince Lee for running a marathon in six hours! Congratulations Vince!
San Diego Marathon Course
Marathon comes from when Pheidippides ran the 40 km (25 miles) from the battlefield near Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon (490 BC) with the word “Νενικήκαμεν” (Nenikékamen, “We have won”) and collapsed and died on the spot from exhaustion.
“I started preparation with Team in Training running a few miles Monday through Thursday, then usually doubling that amount on Saturdays. (i.e. 4-5 miles every day M-R and then 12 miles on Saturday. These miles on Saturday kept increasing by 2 miles every week until 22 miles, then a week of tapering off before race day)
The reason I started coming to you guys was to supplement my training. If I hadn’t started coming to jungle fitness and improved my overall strength, I’m sure that some of the weird angles and general road inconsistencies would have gotten to me, but because of the focus on balanced work outs you guys have, my legs were used to all sorts of situations.” - Vince Lee
That’s awesome Vince! Keep up the good work!
It’s definitely a great achievement to finish a marathon. A great amount of stamina and determination is required to finish a marathon. Daily training is a must, to increase your overall balance and muscles to run 26 miles. Completing a marathon is definitely something you have to do at least once in your life.
“The run was to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society and I raised $3000 for the cause.” - Vince Lee
I hope everyone who’s reading this understands that nothing is impossible. It may seem very hard, but in the end you must persevere. Vince worked out hard, never gave up, and was determined to finish.
This is Jon Jungle and I’m out…
