Determination, proper training can help aspiring runners achieve their goal, Huang Xiangyang reports.

Running is simple. If you can walk, you can run. Running is inclusive. It is a sport for anyone, at any age and from any profession. It does not require a lot of monetary inputs. All you need is a pair of running shoes, and a willingness to find a little more meaning in your life to make it colorful.

For beginners, running a marathon may seem a mission impossible. But the moment you put on your running shoes and hit the road, you stand a good chance of turning it into a dream that can be realized. Tens of thousands of people have used their experiences to prove that through proper training, and with some determination, everyone can become his own hero on a marathon course.
