Marathon Hints

For even the hardened athlete, prac-
fice over q course whose conditions
nearly resemble that Of the event is
I51eccssary.
Distance walking affords excellent
training, and in the preliminary stages,
before the runner has accustomed him
self 20 very long distances, should be
alternated day BY day with running.
Increasing distances, 70 be consistent
with safety, must be gradually worked
up.
The sensible runner IN training never
extends himself and does not go great
part OF his distance at top speed.
Hard work and early hours are prime
requisites for a man who would run a
