Because there was probably previous Marathons before the London Marathon. Example - a runner in a Marathon could have the number 1498 when there is only 357 people running there with him/her. The next Marathon might have less people but even higher numbers.
Can you walk across Central Park during the New York City Marathon?
Technically yes, you can, but you will probably have to take some major detours, since the race ends with the runners coming down the Park Drive, to the finish line at Tavern on the Green (on the Park Drive at approximately 66th Street).
However, even if you have to take some major detours, walking is still your best option, since the traffic through the park will be so jammed up.
Will marathon organizers give you a refund if the race is postponed?
Well, that might depend on the race and the reason for postponement but in general your entry fee will be applied toward the next race. These terms are usually spelled out as part of the entry form when you sign up. Very few races will give cash refunds except in very unusual circumstances.
Ask the race organizers or read the contract, here we can only guess.
How do you determine Half marathon pace?
For pace in minutes per mile, divide your finishing time by 13.11. For pace in minutes per kilometer, divide your finishing time by 21.1.
If you're a runner and you are attempting to determine an appropriate pace or time goal, search for "McMillan's Running Calculator" which does a reasonable job of estimating your pace based on finishing time of other races.
Where is the Craziest 5K Held?
With the popularity of 5Ks growing every year, race directors have begun looking for ways to entice new runners. Enter the crazy-themed 5K.
From races completed entirely in the nudeto mud-filled pits and Krispy Kreme donuts, the possibilities for some unusual 5K fun are bountiful. Few races compare, however, with the Biscuitville Bowl's 7 Campus Scramble in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Runners of this crazy 5K choose to scramble through four biscuit-themed obstacles. Tires filled with wet grits, flour showers, a buttermilk slip-and-slide and a jelly belly crawl make this race one for the "crazy" record books.
Might be interesting as a spectator sport to watch at the finish line. As a participant it would be a grueling test of endurance. The current World record time for the Marathon is two hours four minutes and 26 seconds and extending the distance by almost four times would certainly mandate a slower pace.
What is the normal time for pitbull for a good walk?
== == * You should take your pit bull out for about an hour each day and make sure that he has a good run and exercise. == == * Dogs should be on leashes so it's best to take your Pit bull where there are no other dogs so it can run freely. Pit bulls have a tendency to be aggressive especially around male dogs. It's the breed. Our laws in British Columbia are dog on leash when you see another person with a dog coming towards you and we abide by those laws. == == * A good long walk at night is perfect. There are less dogs, less people asking if they can get a puppy, and its just more pleasant. I gave up walking my APBTs during the day because there are just too many loose dogs and idiotic people for me to get a really quality walk. Keep him on a leash and use your own back yard or a safely fenced area for free play. On another note, if by "time" you mean age, you can start walking them once they've had all their shots. Just keep the walks short and easy for puppies. * American Pit bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers need more exercise than the Staffordshire bull terrier. For the first two I would say minimum one and a half hours and for the Staff B. Terrier one hour. * If the dog starts dragging the paws or scratching his nails while walking is a sign of being very tired and he should be stopped to rest.

What is a negative split In a Marathon?
A negative split in a marathon is where you run the first half or maybe even the first 10 miles of the race slower than your goal pace. Then the last half of your marathon, you pick up the pace, running faster than your goal pace to make up for the lost time from running slower in the first half of the race. This is a good technique to running a marathon because since it is such a long distance you conserve a lot of energy in the first half, and save it for the last part of the race. Running slower then faster than your goal pace will still get you your goal time if done correctly, you are just running in a different way.

What is the best Marathon training plan for a beginner?
start off with something easy, depending on your current physical shape run around 3 miles at a steady pace, remember to warm up (1-2 miles) and then stretch before the longer run. do two days of longer runs and then a day of recovery runs that are shorter but not to short. as you can increase your runs distance and mile time while slowly increasing your recovery runs but keep those low so you still get recovered. another way to get cardio is to swim laps because swimming has low impact. dont replace running with that though
