Runners often follow a structured training plan that gradually increases mileage and intensity over several weeks or months.<br /> <br /> ==Race Day==<br /> On race day, participants often gather early in the morning. The race usually starts with a mass start, and runners are often grouped into corrals based on their expected finish times.
