A Tour de France by Foot

The experience of running a marathon is full of lessons learned. From the training leading up to the race to the race itself, runners must face tests of physical endurance and mental strength.  What makes the Paris Marathon stand out from all other marathons in the world is that it not only teaches these lessons of learning how to run hard and fast but it also teaches something completely unrelated to running: history.  Paris is a city that is steeped in history and while winding through the course of the marathon, at almost every kilometer mark is another historical landmark or building.  On this week's episode of The Shakeout, we take you through the Paris Marathon in the fastest lesson in history.
