The marathon was one of the original modern Marathon Runners Olympic events in 1896, though the distance did not become standardized.Running a marathon requires that you wear the correct kit - shoes, socks, running top, running tights, shorts, etc. Choosing the right gear will ensure you avoid injury and enjoy your training.
