    Crossfit reporting in. Every day is leg day, and every movement involves hip extension, except strict press and strict pullups. Gotta get dem glutes and quads yo.

    My goal is to get at least 70 real good pushups done in one set, and 100 situps. Few months ago, I could only do 10-20 good pushups. After a few months of doing them daily, I can do 40-45. I'm getting there! Also, I want to be able to run a half marathon in an hour, but I have a long ways to go!

    What is a good body part to work on for running marathons that usually give out after long runs? So far ive been preparing with runs and using hip abduction and adduction machines. Any other suggestions?

    Muscles: hamstrings, calves, quads, hip flexors, lower back, core
    Any of these muscles if not all will hurt and potentially give out during a long run
    Body parts you have to condition overtime by running long distances: feet, knees
    Getting achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, knee injury, IT band injury, hamstring injury, etc will severely hamper if not end any chance of you finishing a marathon.

    Finishing a marathon and not getting injured depends on how you prepared before the marathon. The tried and true method is to run consistently. Rather than using machines, your marathon workouts should solely consist of running. Don't rely on treadmills for your runs, running on hilly trails/roads will help strengthen your legs and improve your ability to breath. If your mileage per week is not in the 25-30 range then that is what you should start focusing on reaching. Use the time you previously spent on machines to run. If you run once a day work towards running twice a day.

    Marathon training - running in general - is a long and painful journey. Good luck on your running endeavors.

    Great advice! Thank you! Look of things to look out for. Do you suggested eating during a marathon - like nutrition or protein bars?
