Most novice runners max out at 20 miles because to run any further would leave them too tired to continue training for and running in the marathon. Having run 3 marathons and trained many others to do their first, I strongly recommend that the longest training run take no longer than 3 hours and 25 minutes and take place three weeks before the race. This should leave you in condition to continue your training and adequately recover before the race.

Where was the battle fought in which the Persians were defeated by the Athenians who were only half their number?
Marathon 490 BCE.
The person who ran twenty six miles to Rome to tell the news of the victory at Marathon?
A messenger by the name of Pheidippides, although there is some contention as to whether this actually happened. Pheidippides WAS sent with a request for aid from Marathon to Sparta, which was a distance of 240 km (which only took him two days). The story relates that he traveled back to the battle was was then sent to Athens with news of victory. Then, after running only 40km, he collapsed dead after announcing the victory.
Why did Athens win the Battle of Marathon?
Yes, they won. But they only won because they had Sparta's army help them.
What was the population in Plataea Greece in 490BC?
We can only guess. It was able to produce 1,000 wariors to support the Athenians at the battle of Marathon. Using that as a multiplier, perhaps about 6,000.
How was Atlanta was poorly prepared for the Great Depression?
There were only a few programs to help the unemployed.
