Blog 16: 2-hour Meeting Answer #2

1.  What is your essential question?
What is key to completing a marathon?

2.  What is your second answer to your essential question (write your second answer in a complete sentence)?
The key to completing a marathon is to train for 6 months before with a routine that includes long miles, short miles, cross training, and hill repeats. 

3.  What are three details to support or justify your second answer (details are examples or facts)?
-Injuries caused by over training, and going beyond your boundaries.
-Getting in shape for a run in order to finish. You body can't just go out there and run, it can lead to death or heart attack.
-Everybody is different, you have to get to know your body and how it works, no everyone can have a personal trainer.

4.  What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?
Currently I have been reading Marathon by Jeff Galloway, this was my first introduction to proper marathon training. I am hoping to find other books that have similar training plans.

5.  What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why?  (You would say "I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing ____________"?)
I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by researching what makes a good training schedule, as well as how to create your own. I think this is important because once you know how to run properly you need to know how to create something that works for you and your body type. I also find it important to create a plan that you find interesting. This will keep you motivated to run through 6 grueling months.
