Why is there a saying that "half a horse is not a horse" in the circle of running marathons?
Hello, I'm Bai Mo, a runner, and I'm glad to answer this question.

There is indeed a saying in our lap that "a half horse is not a horse", because the intensity of a half horse is completely different from that of a marathon.

Many people think that it is wrong to use the phrase "half a horse is not a horse" to belittle runners who only run half marathons.

The intensity of a half horse is different from that of a marathon.

If we beginners have the ability to run 10km, then we can try half a horse for a little training, and the training period is about one month.

Marathon usually takes longer to train and the training plan is relatively more complicated. If we insist on training and don't be lazy halfway, it will take us at least half a year to try the marathon.

Because of the short distance, the body doesn't need as much energy as a marathon. We can maintain a long distance with a high heart rate and a pace close to the lactate threshold, and we can reach the finish line before the energy runs out. If you run half a horse at a very high heart rate, usually there will only be a small pole at 16 17 km, just get through. Because many runners run half a horse like this, this is one of the reasons why the danger probability of half a horse is higher than that of marathon.

The distance of a marathon is twice that of a half marathon, which seems to be the sum of two half marathons. Actually, it is not. Usually, the test of marathon for runners begins after half a horse. After the half-race, as the body's reserve energy is exhausted a little, the electrolyte in the body is reduced, and the runner's own muscle level and endurance level reach the limit, the body balance will be broken, and the runner will face many unexpected situations in the second half of the marathon.

The average runner will hit the wall at 27 28km and 32 36km. It is characterized by shortness of breath, increased heart rate, leg weakness, cramps and recurrence of old injuries. When "hitting the wall" comes, the runner can't run at all, so he can only walk or rest. At this time, the runner's psychology will be hit hard, and negative emotions such as pessimism, disappointment and doubt will appear. After the "hitting the wall" period, the runner can run again, and psychologically there will be positive emotions such as hope, confidence, happiness and excitement.

Marathon is also a physical test that half a horse can't match. After running half a horse, you can rest for two or three days before running. After running a marathon, you have to rest for at least a week to recover.

The difference between a half horse and a marathon lies in the different physical and psychological tests on runners. The intensity of the two is completely different, so there is a saying that "half a horse is not a horse" in running laps.

That's my answer. Thank you.

Half a horse is not a horse. What's the use of half a horse? Everyone should understand that the contempt chain that is often ridiculed in running circles is not completely true, but it does exist. Probably triathlon despises cross-country, cross-country despises horse racing, and the whole horse despises half a horse. There is no lack of equipment among them, and people who despise poor runners.

When I first started running in the morning, I always ran 3 kilometers and 5 kilometers. Later, they advised me to run at least 10 km. It's not that I can't run 10 km. Just my own physical condition. I know best. I still insist on gradual progress and gradual improvement. The most obvious thing is to run 5 kilometers and punch in the group. No matter how fast, few people praise you, but running 10 kilometers is different. Even if it is not fast, it is still praised by everyone.

When you have the ability to compete and sign up for the semi-Marseille, many people will ask in a questioning voice: Half horse is not a horse, why not sign up for the whole horse? I'll go. I can run as much as I can, as long as I am happy.

Or, since everyone is out running the race, why not sign up for the whole horse? Running half a horse is not cost-effective. Oh, I'll go. The whole horse is very cost-effective. My health is not good.

Conversations like this are often staged. Therefore, this is not surprising.

So half a horse, is it a horse or not? We all know that the origin of marathon is a man named Marathon in wartime. He ran 42. 195 km to deliver the message, but after the message was delivered, he fell to the ground. To commemorate his contribution, people in his country named the long-distance race after him. So the whole marathon is the real marathon. The half marathon was added later.

Although strictly speaking, the half horse is not a marathon, it is the main force of the marathon army. The significance of midway is not limited to this:

1. Half horse is the primary goal of most amateur runners. It is impossible to finish the whole marathon at one time, so most people choose to finish a half marathon as their goal.

(2) Accumulate running amount to pave the way for a longer distance. We all know that long-distance running, without running amount as the basis, everything is not true. Therefore, accumulating the running amount of one and a half horses per week is also a method adopted by many great gods.

(3) Promote the prosperity of national sports. There are still more people running half a horse than running the whole horse. With the participation of centaurs, the race can look more lively and larger.

In fact, the contempt chain of running laps is not necessary at all. Run at your own pace, regardless of what others think. As long as our health is our ultimate goal.

Horse racing, just follow your heart. Mutual respect and love are the positive energy that we should have in running laps.

There are three main reasons.

(1) In terms of actual distance, the marathon has only one distance of 42. 195km, and the others are not horses.

Half horse 2 1.0975km,

There are also 1/4 horses, mini horses,

There are more than 42. 195km, collectively referred to as ultramarathon.

If half a horse is a horse, then 1/4 is a horse or a marathon? 2-3 km mini marathon?

(2) The difficulty of the whole horse is far from that of the half horse. It's not a simple addition of two and a half, it's as difficult as 3-4 and a half.

Half a horse can endure and fight, and may always finish the race.

(this is also the reason why half a horse is prone to accidents. It is lack of training, underestimating the enemy halfway, fighting and fighting. )

But the whole horse couldn't fight if it wanted to, and it was tired, cramped, short of supplies, and hit the wall.

For a horse runner, LSD and running 20+ every weekend are not a problem.

But don't say running 42, even running 30 is very tired.

(3) As far as scientific replenishment is concerned, although it is not worth recommending, it is true that many people have had the situation of "zero replenishment and giving up halfway".

But absolutely no one can "give nothing, take it all."

Running all over the horse is not just to get some supplies, but to eat and drink.

If you want to run well, you need scientific supply and tailor-made.

It is important to drink water in a planned way according to the amount of sweat.

And energy supply. The slower you run, the more you need to eat carefully. After all, it takes a long time and consumes a lot.

I am an amateur on Malaysia 10 line. I have participated in the whole Marseille five times, and I am proud to finish the whole race, ranking first and second.

Tell me my opinion that half a horse is not a marathon, but basically a horse. Because as far as all Malaysian amateurs are concerned, many athletes really reach the physical limit after 30 kilometers, and after 30 kilometers, it is the key for you to surpass other athletes and achieve results. And those rookies who walk more than 30 kilometers in Malaysia are often full of energy when they run to the half horse in the first half. In particular, some Xiao Bai who have not been trained by the whole horse system, or Xiao Bai who has not run across the whole horse, do not know how to distribute physical strength, and often run out of physical strength in the first half and can only barely maintain it in the second half.

I ran Zhengzhou Marathon this year, because there are corporate sponsors in the running friends group, so I can see the achievements of many running friends. Because of the track, many runners collapsed in the second half of Zhengzhou Marathon, but their report cards and results in the first half were still very good.

So it's almost not difficult for half-horse athletes. Moreover, if all horse racers don't have to worry about the physical distribution in the second half and concentrate on running half a horse, their performance can be further improved. But for ordinary people who don't run much, half a horse, like the whole horse, is an unreachable dream. For example, for ordinary people, the richest man in your county and the richest man in the world are rich to you, although the wealth gap between them is also great.

Half a horse is really not a real marathon.

From the distance, the marathon is 42. 195 km, while the half horse is only 2 1.0975 km.

Judging from the experience of participating in the race, an ordinary person can easily run half a horse and finish the race in three hours through two or three months' practice, but even an amateur who has been running for several years can run the whole horse painlessly in six hours, which is not an easy thing, because you never know what will happen after 30 kilometers.

The whole horse is an extreme sport, but the half horse is not. This is the essential difference.

If it's just for fitness, five to ten kilometers is usually the most suitable distance. And every time you finish beating a horse, your immunity will drop, and it will take two months or even longer to fully recover. No one can guarantee what will happen to the body during the period of low immunity, which will affect the whole life.

Under the premise of physical conditions, it is understandable to pursue achievements moderately. If we regard long distance and fast speed as the capital to show off, it will be a bit shallow.

A serious runner should understand that he is not an athlete who competes for position with his body, so he will put health first.

As mass runners, we don't want to run faster, but we want to run farther.

In the running group, many people say that half a horse is not a horse, and the whole Marseille is the real marathon. I have never participated in the all-horse race before, and I always feel that others will scare people by running marathons for a few more years. I'm still a little unconvinced. I didn't know the difference between the whole horse and the half horse until I really started to participate in the whole horse race. Only when I personally experience it will I know the power of the whole horse. Without a certain running strength, life is worse than death in the end. If you want to run half a horse well, you need to run ten kilometers first, and then add a lot slowly. People who can run more than 16 kilometers can basically run half a horse. Everyone's muscle blood sugar can be half a horse's journey. A person will slow down after 25 kilometers, and then he will slow down. At this time, he will hit the wall after 30 kilometers. You will want to give up the race, so everyone must run long distances to exercise endurance. As for speed, it depends on everyone's usual physical quality, physique and exercise effect. Running the whole race is not what you want to run. If you don't reach a certain amount and run a long distance, don't join in the fun and hurt your health. If you want to participate in the all-horse race, you don't need to run a long distance to exercise your endurance. You can run 36 kilometers, which should be no problem. However, if you want to run well, you need to exercise faster and have more rest. If your half score is 130, then the whole score is good. I was naive before. I always wanted to run well. At first, I ran like a half horse. As a result, it slowed down after running for 25 kilometers, and it was going to run slowly after a leg cramp at 36 kilometers. Later, I reflected that I didn't run a long distance before the horse race, and my endurance was not enough, which led to the first half 13 1 half a horse, and the second half ran for two hours. Learn a lesson and run a few more long distances before running the whole horse to exercise your endurance, so that you know what you are doing and you are not tired after running.

I am really quiet. From the origin and history, the marathon is only 42. 195 kilometers of the whole marathon, while the existing half marathon, mini marathon and ultramarathon are all products of the later capital operation.

We all know that the marathon originated from the "Greek-Persian War". History is the first large-scale war between Eurasian powers. The war time is quite long, and it can even be described as a "marathon" war. The war time of about 50 years has greatly influenced both the East and the West in economy and culture.

In this war, Persians, as invaders, have always looked down on their nearby areas, even the city-states across the coast. After invading and conquering Ionia and destroying the capital of Miletus, Persia claimed that Athens and Errett helped Miletus, just like our Persian empire. What should I do if I can't get through? Then we started a large-scale invasion of Greece.

The Persians were fooled at sea for the first time, and most of the fleet was destroyed by the hurricane. When they reached the land, they had no heavy equipment. Now they were attacked by the Thracians and had to retreat, so the first large-scale Persian March stopped.

Two years after going back to repair it, the Persians attacked again and made a second expedition to Greece. This time, it was smooth sailing at sea. After arriving in the city of Eretria, the attack won in a few minutes and then continued to advance south. There is a sea between the city of Eretria and Athens, and then the name of going south is marathon. This place is where the Persians are about to attack Athens.

For the Athenians, at this time, they began to mobilize urgently and prepare to assemble teams to participate in the marathon. If all goes well, they can kill the Persians when they land. At the same time, Athens also arranged for a long-distance runner named Fidi Pitts to go to Sparta for help. For the Athenians, I can't keep this place, and your place in Sparta will be occupied, so it is natural to think that Sparta will send troops to help. Who knows that after Fidipitz arrived in Sparta in two days150km, the Spartans gave the answer that they could not help the Athenians before the full moon. At that time, there were still a few days before the 15th National Congress. By the time of the full moon, the Persians might have conquered Athens, so the final anti-Persian war was only aimed at the Athenians themselves.

At the beginning of the war, the Persians gained the upper hand. Fortunately, Athens took a series of positive measures, successfully saved the defeat and defeated the Persian army. However, the Persian navy did not succeed in defeating the Athenian navy. In the end, the Athenians won a great victory and the Persians had to retreat. At this time, after winning in this place called Marathon, the army sent this Fei Di Pitz, commonly known as Scud, back to the city to declare victory, but as soon as he ran to the city, the news of victory came. The man suddenly lost his breath, because the distance he ran was about 42. 195 km. In order to commemorate him, later generations combined this place name with distance and called it marathon, which is the origin of marathon.

Later, with the progress of the times and economic development, the marathon began to develop widely after the first Olympic Games. Following the Boston Marathon in the United States, marathons have become popular in major cities around the world. The original purpose of these cities is simple, including commemorating Fidi Pitz, creating city business cards and enhancing people's beliefs. Of course, these are all from the perspective of the city.

For the organizers, there are more and more runners in the later stage of marathon development, but 42.195km is not a short distance, and not every runner can finish the marathon. The essence of these organizers is to make money, and the purpose is simple and pure. Thinking that there are more benefits for more people to participate in this sport, I have a little brains in distance, so I set half of the marathon distance as a half marathon. In the later stage, it also developed to include mini-marathons. Although everyone has the word marathon, the prefix can only be said to be a derivative of marathon, not a real marathon.

The above is a marathon in the historical sense. This half marathon has nothing to do with this history and significance, but it is related to the interests of the organizers, so "half a horse is not a horse."

In terms of physical endurance, it is understandable that half a horse is not a horse. A person who can easily run a full marathon in five hours, I understand this ease is that after running the next day, his back is not sore, his legs are not painful, and he can walk normally. This kind of person can easily run for two or even three and a half days, but a person who can run for two or three and a half days will be greatly improved if he does not complete a training of more than 30 kilometers.

When we first started running, we had this misunderstanding. Run 10 km easily, and we will feel that running is like this. Marathon is only 42.195km, which is exactly four10km. In fact, we will learn a profound lesson in an unprepared marathon.

Although both half marathon and marathon bring horses, they are completely different from our physical limits. The whole horse will basically make most people doubt and let them know the marathon again, but the half horse rarely happens.

Of course, although it is said that "half a horse is not a horse", in terms of danger, "half a horse is not as good as a whole horse". In the case of accidents in major domestic competitions, the number of individuals who appear in the half horse is far more than that of the whole horse. This statement may be influenced by the total number of participants, but it can also explain to some extent that runners have a wrong understanding of the half marathon, that is, it is not a "marathon". In fact, it has brought one.

There is a big gap between the half horse and the whole horse. Imagine that when you run half a horse 265,438+0 kilometers with the power of the wild, you will immediately put another 265,438+0 kilometers in front of you. How stressful it will be. Most friends who have run half a horse have this experience. The so-called "half horse is not a horse" is true, and the gap between half horse and whole horse is huge. 0 1 full marathon is the most typical sport that challenges the limits of human sports.

The whole marathon is 42. 195km. For running, 42 kilometers is a long journey. Many people become dogs after running a few hundred meters, let alone running 42 kilometers. For most people, 42km is an astronomical figure, which requires superhuman physical strength and endurance, as well as strong will and extraordinary perseverance. Marathon is the most typical sport that challenges the limits of human sports.

Half horse and whole horse are not the same concept.

In the process of advanced running, when you conquer 3 kilometers, the next goal is 5 kilometers. After overcoming 5 kilometers, the distance to 10 kilometers is one step away. When a person can win 10 km, it is very likely to run half a horse, which seems to be a natural thing, but if a person conquers half a horse, from the actual situation, half a horse.

Half a horse is the limit distance for fitness running.

If a person's running limit is half a horse, it proves that his running training must not be aimed at marathon, because half a horse is the limit distance of low-intensity running training. For example, if an adult under the age of 40 keeps running for more than one year, accumulating more than 500 kilometers, and a single run can reach 10 kilometers, then he can try to run half a horse at a low speed, which is probably successful, but most of this distance has been reached.

04 special training gap

Runners who run the whole horse often receive various marathon training, such as interval running, leg strength training, core strength training, breathing training, lsd running training and so on. Ordinary runners rarely carry out such special training. They often improve their running level by accumulating running amount, and special training is not involved much, which is also the main reason for the huge strength gap between half-horse runners and full-horse runners.

05 coordination gap

There is still a gap between half-horse runners and full-horse runners, that is, the gap of coordination, which is very important in running. Coordination comes from correct running posture and core strength. All-horse runners are not only excellent in strength, but also often excellent in coordination. Good coordination makes running easy and labor-saving, so sometimes coordination is more important than strength. Half-horse runners are easier to approach full-horse runners in strength, but there is a big gap in coordination.

End: There is a huge gap between the half horse and the whole horse. The biggest difference is that half-horse running belongs to the category of fitness running, while full-horse running belongs to the category of challenging the physical limit.

If you like my article, please pay attention to me at the beginning of the article, or like to reply, thank you! I deeply understand the meaning of half a horse but not a horse.

I've run four or five and a half times before, and I can finish it easily. My monthly running volume is 100- 150K, and it is 5- 10K every time. I can run half a horse.

Just the day before yesterday, my running friends and I ran a super horse 52, Chengdu Third Ring Road. After 34 kilometers, it collapsed directly and was completed by running and walking. The tactic I made for myself before was 630 cruise. I don't know if I will still collapse, feel suffocated and my heart rate will not come down. Half a horse is really more than twice as simple as a whole horse. Don't run the whole horse without a monthly run of 250K k.
