\u201cBy registering I want to encourage everyone to run your\u00a0chosen distances, to challenge yourselves and to start doing sports if you haven\u2019t already done that\u201d \u2013 motivates Remigijus Kan\u010dys. \u201cYou have almost one year. Start preparing right now and I believe that you will surprise not only everyone around you but also yourselves\u201d.<\/p>\n
For those who are going to run their first marathon, athlete suggests to assess\u00a0their\u00a0capabilities \u00a0first.

He points out that before going to the start line you have to know exactly why you are doing it.<\/p>\n
Encouraging to prepare responsibly<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Darius Mikulis, director of Public Institution \u201cTarptautinis maratonas\u201d which is organising \u201cDanske Bank Vilnius Marathon\u201d, the most active time of registration is one or two months before the event. Nevertheless, it is suggested to start preparing in advance, especially for those who are planning to run longer distances.<\/p>\n \u201cWe encourage everyone who is planning to participate in \u201cDanske Bank Vilnius Marathon\u201d to prepare responsibly. Running, just as any other physical activity is a higher load for your body, therefore you have to assess your physical capabilities and to check your health. You have to be smart while training. For those, who have less experience, we suggest to consult with trainers or more experienced runners, read recommendations written by trainers, nutritionists, psychologists, which are put to \u201cDanske Bank Vilnius Marathon\u201d journal every year.<\/p>\n Neurologist and a marathon runner Gediminas Kinderis suggests for amateurs and for those who are planning to run a full marathon not to overdo and to train consistently. While training before the marathon, a person has to run 30-35km for a few times. Doctor highlights that you have to save your energy and to run in 50-70% capacity. It is also very important to have a right balance of liquids in your body: you can not try to save time by not stopping at the refreshment stations around the track. According to the doctor, amateur runners should drink isotonic drinks and the more experienced runners are usually good with water only.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is important to have a health check before the race\u201d says Gediminas Kinderis. \u201cYou have to be sure that you don\u2019t have any heart diseases, that your heart rate is not too high and that you don\u2019t have diabetes. \u00a0When the runner is at the start line, he can\u2019t be tired. He has to be calm, rested, self confident. You don\u2019t have to be afraid if you will have to walk from 35th<\/sup> kilometre to the finish line. Medals are given to everyone who reach the finish line\u201d smiles the neurologist.<\/p>\n 13th<\/sup> \u201cDanske Bank Vilnius Marathon\u201c is going to be held on September 11, 2016.
