Blood vessels in first-time marathon runners could regain some elasticity as participants train for the big race, according to newEven a training regimen designed for novice runners who completed the London Marathon in slower-than-average time was enough to drop their blood pressure and improve the health of a vital artery near their hearts.
Since running is a popular and accessible exercise, Manisty and her team wanted to see if it held benefits for parts of our circulatory system that a blood-pressure cuff can't reach.

Most used the race's “Beginner’s Training Plan,” which includes about three runs a week for 17 weeks; individuals could have chosen more rigorous regimens if they wanted.
