What is a Marathon?
Most runners have heard of Pheidippides, a Greek messenger who raced from Marathon, Greece, to Athens, Greece’s capital city, to deliver news of the Greek army’s victory over the Persians, eventually dying after delivering the message. The final distance between the two points was 26.2 kilometres, which can be considered the origin of the modern marathon distance. Marathon has grown to be as popular as it is today thanks to the legend and one of the Olympic committee’s delegates, Michel Breal, who pushed the idea of a long-distance race as one of the Olympic events. He had, in fact, presented his case with the story of Pheidippides.
In the decades since it was first included in the Olympics, the marathon has grown in popularity among the general public. Because of its widespread popularity, the sport is now played in a plethora of cities all over the world. Many people report a sense of freedom, as well as various feelings of happiness and contentment, after finishing a marathon. Even those who despise the idea of working out become addicted to this 42.195 kilometer long foot race (26 miles 385 yards). Running is a sport that becomes a habit, a way of life, rather than an obligation.
