To prevent and deal with calf cramps that may occur during running, we must do pre-match preparation activities to achieve the effect of body fever.

The origin of marathon

The origin of this incident began with a battle in September 490 BC 12. The battle was fought by Persians and Athenians at the seaside of Marathon not far from Athens. It was called the Greek-Persian War, 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.

Fidel Pitts is a famous scud. He kept running in order to let the people in his hometown know the good news earlier. When he ran to Athens, he was out of breath and shouted excitedly: Athenians, be happy, we won. With that, he fell to the ground and died. In order to commemorate this event, in the first Olympic Games held in 1896, a marathon was set up, and the distance of the marathon was 42.193km.
