Now that Mumbaikars have an opportunity to compete in a professionally managed marathon event, there is no better way for fitness enthusiasts to stretch themselves and go the entire distance the grueling full 42 km marathon.
The marathon is not the classic young man's sport like tennis, where teenagers seem to be clambering the top rungs. Professional marathon runners peak in their late 20s, so the ultimate test of endurance seems to be a good thing to aim for before you hit your 30s.
