0

Lake Tahoe Marathon Week is full of excitement. If you’re an outdoor adventure and race enthusiast, this is the event for you. It happens once a year, so if you plan in advance, you’ll have plenty of time for training. Events at Lake Tahoe Marathon Week include running, jogging, walking, swimming, kayaking, paddling, golfing and biking. Some races are for fun, while others are very competitive. This is an event for everyone, including kids, people with strollers and those in wheelchairs.

Even if you’ll be doing the fun races, it still is a good idea to train yourself and prepare your body for the day of the marathon races. This way, you can be sure your body is ready. Now’s the time to get out your favorite pair of running shorts (or buy a new pair), running shoes and moisture-wicking shirt. Don your gear and get training.

Just walking, jogging or running around the neighborhood is a great way to get started. You can later add more intensity to your training, depending on your plans for the marathon. Always remember to stretch and warm up before starting the more vigorous exercises. Hopefully you’ve timed it so that Lake Tahoe Marathon Week begins soon after your training is done. That way your body is in optimal shape to complete the marathon activities you have chosen.

Before heading to Lake Tahoe Marathon Week, be sure you’ve got some great running shoes to match your event. A good, all-around shoe for this event is one equipped for walking, running, jogging, biking and boating. It will be difficult to change shoes if you transition from one even to the next, so be sure to pick a shoe that is good for all of your events.

Look for shoes that not only have good traction but also have excellent shock absorption. The traction is needed for the foot action, as well as the biking and boating. The shoes also need to be lightweight for easy movement. A variety of running shoes will fall in this category. Just be sure to pay attention to all the features.
