Based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Raquel Baquero serves as a general manager of Transwest Enterprises, which provides services to telecommunications companies. In her free time, Raquel Baquero enjoys running and has completed the New York City Marathon twice.
There are many runners who enjoy running a few miles a few times a week, but Running Magazine encourages every runner to consider running a marathon at some point during their career. A marathon is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical challenge. Many people get to a point where they think they cannot go any farther, but still have an hour or more left to run. Overcoming this mental challenge of completing such a long distance race can be extremely rewarding.
Completing a marathon is also a major confidence boost and will help shorter runs feel more manageable. While running a marathon may seem daunting and unrealistic for many runners, it is attainable for most people if they invest time and energy into proper training. There are plenty of resources available for free online to help runners prepare for a marathon.
