Pitani kumalo aliwonse ndipo mudzawona nthawi yomweyo kuti kuthamanga ndi masewera apadera. Aliyense ali ndi mayendedwe osiyanasiyana, kugunda kwa phazi, ndi kusankha nsapato. Palibe othamanga awiri omwe ali ofanana, komanso zomwe mpikisano wawo suli. Anthu ena akufuna kuthamanga 5Ks, ena akufuna kuthamangitsa marathon pa kontinenti iliyonse. Koma pali umboni kuti onse, kwambiri kuthamangitsa sikukuchulukitsa kanayi phindu la kuthamanga kwanu kwakufupi. "Sizitenga mphindi zopitilira zisanu kapena khumi zolimbitsa thupi kuti mukwaniritse zonse zomwe mungachite pothana ndi masewera olimbitsa thupi komanso kumverera bwino kuti mukhale ndi malingaliro abwino," atero a Heather Milton, katswiri wazolimbitsa thupi ku NYU Langone Medical Center. Chifukwa chake ayi, slog ya maola asanu ndi limodzi si yabwinoko kasanu ndi kamodzi kwa inu kuposa kubwereza kwanthawi yayitali ndi kofulumira.

Kuphatikiza apo, maphunziro a marathon amabwera ndi zoopsa zake zambiri. Momwemonso, imafinya moyo wanu wamagulu molimbika kuposa Gu yemwe kale munali pambali pa maphunzirowo. Mukaphatikiza koyambirira kwa Lachisanu ndi koyambirira kwa Loweruka, izi sizimasiya nthawi yayitali yodyera kwaulesi komanso magalasi osatha a vinyo. Theka la marathons amakulolani kuti mukhale ndi moyo (pang'ono), ndipo amadya nthawi yocheperako masana anu. M'masiku anga oyambirira a theka la maphunziro, ndimakumbukirabe ndikudya chakudya chaku China pakati pausiku, kenako ndikutembenuka ndikuthamanga m'mawa mwake ngati sizinali kanthu. Maphunziro a Marathon amamva bwino kuposa moyo chifukwa ulidi. Ubongo wanu umachotsa malo pashelefu ndikuyika chizindikiro kuti MARATHON NKHAWA. Ndipamene mumataya nkhawa zanu za nthawi, zovala, nyengo, ndi kukwera pakati pa mpikisano. (Eya! Why Running Make You Poop?) Pambuyo pa miyezi inayi yophunzitsidwa, shelufuyo imakhala yolemetsa kwambiri.

Phindu lina la kuthamanga theka la marathons ndi mtunda waufupi ndi umenewo muyenera kumathamanga. Marathoners amalangizidwa kuti azikhala osavuta masiku 26 (tsiku limodzi pa mailo) pambuyo pa mpikisano waukulu! (Werengani zomwe maphunziro akutali akutengera kwenikweni kumapazi anu.) Komano theka la othamanga, atha kubwerera munjira zawo zabwino nthawi zonse malinga ngati akumva bwino. Milton akuti kuchira msanga kumeneku kumachitika chifukwa chosagundika pang'ono pamagulu anu chifukwa chakanthawi kochepa. Maphunziro oyenerera amathandizanso.

Pomwe ndimakhala ndikuphunzitsira theka langa loyamba, sindimadziwa kuti ndithamange mpaka pati, zomwe ndingadye, kapena ngakhale kuti mwina sindimayenera kuthamanga usiku nditavala zakuda zonse. Koma dalitso limodzi losayembekezereka linali loti sindinadziwe zambiri zomwe sindimadziwa. Zomwe ndimadziwa ndikuti kilomita iliyonse imamvanso ngati yopambana.

Milton akutsimikizira izi, ponena kuti ndizosavuta kupeza maphunziro oyenera kwa theka osati mpikisano wathunthu. "Kwa othamanga ambiri, china chimabwera sabata limodzi kapena chimangodumpha kapena sangathe kulowa nawo nthawi yayitali, ndipo samangokhala okonzeka mokwanira," akutero. "[Marathon] mwina sangakhale yosangalatsa kwambiri, makamaka ngati mukulimbana ndi ma mailosi anayi kapena asanu omalizawa ... ma mile 13 ndiwotheka pang'ono."

Ndipo mwina ichi ndichinsinsi chodetsedwa cha theka la marathon: Ndizotheka kuchita. Mosiyana ndi mpikisano wathunthu, simuyenera kuchita miyezi inayi ya moyo wanu ku maphunziro. Mutha kumwabe ndikumacheza ndi kuganizira zinthu zina. Pambuyo pa mpikisano, thupi lanu lomenyedwa limabwerera mwachangu kwambiri. Ndipo ndicho chinthu chake: Thupi lanu lidzakudabwitsani. Pambuyo pa theka lanu lakutali la marathon, mudzadziyang'ana munjira yatsopano.

Theka langa loyamba lothamanga linali mu 2012, tsopano ndi chiyani SHAPE Women's Half Marathon (mutha kulembetsa pano!). Nthawi yanga inali 2:10:12, koma ndimangodziwa zinthu izi chifukwa chazomwe ndimalemba pa intaneti. Nditayesa kuganizira kubwerera ku gawo langa loyamba, moona mtima sindinakumbukire momwe ndimamvera. Kodi ndinali ndi mantha? Kutopetsa? Kugudubuza mu ululu?

Zabwino zonse Gmail imasunga umboni wonse. Nditafufuza, ndidapeza imelo yopita kwa mnzanga wothamanga miyezi iwiri lisanafike tsiku la mpikisano: "Ndalembetsa gawo langa loyamba-mu Epulo! Ndipo tsopano ndabwera kwa inu, katswiri, ndikupempha upangiri ... ndiyenera kuchita chiyani kuti ndiphunzitse ??" Maimelo ena kwa abwenzi anali ndi miyala yamtengo wapatali iyi: "Kodi ndikwere mailosi angati?" ndipo "Sindinaganizepo kuti nsalu ikhoza kuwonongeka?" (Pambuyo pake ndinaphunzira za izi mwanjira yovuta.) Palibe zomwe zimawulula ngati imelo kwa mzanga Adam, kutatsala milungu itatu kuti mpikisano: "ndili ndi nkhawa ndi theka la marathon ndikamwalira" Palibe zopumira, palibe zilembo zazikulu. Ndinkachita mantha kwambiri. Ndipo patapita zaka zinayi? Sindinakumbukire ngakhale sekondi imodzi yokha. Chifukwa chiyani?

Ndayamba kuzindikira tsopano chifukwa chake zikumbukiro zanga ndizovuta. Chotsatira chachikulu chothamanga theka lanu lakutali si kumverera komwe kumadza ndikumaliza mzere. Ndikumverera komwe kumakusambitsani tsiku lotsatira komanso m'masabata ndi miyezi yotsatira, zomwe zikufotokozera zolemba zanga patangotha ​​milungu iwiri kuchokera theka loyambirira lija: "Ndikumbukira lero ngati tsiku lomwe ndidapambana lotale, ndimenya machitidwe, ndikupeza kunja ndidzakhala ndikuthamanga New York City Marathon pa Novembala 4. " Popanda theka loyambalo, sindikadakhala ndi chidaliro choyesera zonse.

Kukongola kwa theka la marathon ndi komwe kuli mwayi womwe ukutsatira. Mumayendetsa theka lanu loyamba ndipo palibe amene angakane kuti ndinu othamanga "enieni". Mumathamanga theka lanu loyamba la marathon ndikuganiza, "Ine ndikhoza kuchita izo kachiwiri," ndiyeno mwinamwake mutero. Mumathamangira koyamba ndikuganiza kuti, "Sindingathe kuchita zonse," koma miyezi ingapo pambuyo pake mumasewera masewera olimbitsa thupi omwe angadabwitse kuti mumakayikira. (Ndizovomerezeka kuti musamathamangire mpikisano wathunthu, ngakhale. Mmodzi wankhondo wakale wa half marathoner akufotokoza chifukwa chake sikuli kwa iye.)

Pali zochitika zazikuluzikulu zomwe mumakumbukira kwamuyaya-zomwe mungajambulike pamendulo kapena zolembalemba pakhungu lanu. Ndipo pali zokumana nazo zotsalira, zomwe zimamveka zazikulu panthawiyo koma zomwe zimazimiririka mpaka pomwe sizosiyananso ndi mtundu wina uliwonse. Mwaiwala chifukwa mudatambasula malire anu kuyambira pamenepo kuti simungakumbukire nthawi yomwe china chake chimamveka chosatheka. Tsopano, ndiye wothamanga yemwe wakudutsani kale, manja akugwedezeka, chifuwa chikutuluka, mzere womaliza kwinakwake.
