The battle was fought by Persians and Athenians at the seaside of Marathon not far from Athens. It was called Persian War in history, and the Athenians finally won the victory against aggression. In order to let the people in his hometown know the good news of victory as soon as possible, Commander Mi Leide sent a soldier named Fidi Pitts back to tell the news.
Freddie Pitts is a famous "Scud". He has been running in order to let his hometown people know the good news earlier. When he ran to Athens, he was out of breath and shouted excitedly, "Athenians, let's have fun, we won" and fell to the ground and died.
In order to commemorate this event, in the first modern Olympic Games held in 1896, a marathon was set up, and the distance of the marathon was 42.193km, which was run by Fedipintz messenger that year. Marathon was originally a place name in Greece. 30 kilometers northeast of Athens.

Running skills
(1) Try to choose a soft venue for morning exercise and fitness running. It is best to practice running on the track of the sports ground instead of running on the hard ground.
(2) Don't wear hard shoes when running. Try to wear shoes with soft soles and thick soles, preferably sports shoes and rubber shoes. You can wear cloth shoes when you don't have rubber shoes, but don't wear hard shoes and plastic shoes.
(3) Running posture should be scientific and reasonable. The heel should land first and quickly transition to the sole of the foot, so as to do a good job of buffering and reduce the resistance when landing. The rear pedal of the leg should be stretched. When your feet touch the ground, you should make good use of the cushioning force, not too hard, so that when you run, people feel that your feet are light and elastic, and you can also reduce the burden on your feet, which can last and avoid pain.
(4) When running, the shoelaces should not be tied too tightly, otherwise it will hinder the blood circulation of the feet. Soaking feet with hot water often, at least after running in the morning and before going to bed every night, can reduce the viscosity of lower limb foot muscles, enhance the elasticity and extensibility of joint ligaments, and prevent pain, which is beneficial to morning exercise the next morning.
(5) Before and after participating in the morning exercise fitness run, warm-up and finishing activities should be done well, especially the muscles, tendons and ligaments of hip joint, knee joint, ankle joint and lower limbs should be fully active before participating in the morning exercise fitness run. These are also very important for protecting feet.
