It was 490 BCE, and the pressure all around was thick as the Greek city-states stood joined against the powerful Persian Domain. On the fields of Long distance race, 26 miles from Athens, the Athenian armed force, drove by the overall Miltiades, confronted a power that appeared to be difficult to overcome. The Persian armed force dwarfed the Greeks almost two to one.

Regardless of the chances, the Athenians battled with unrivaled valiance. In a shocking development, they pushed back the Persians and guaranteed triumph on the war zone. However, their festival was brief. The city of Athens, uninformed about the victory, dreaded the Persians could in any case go after via ocean.

Miltiades went to one man, Pheidippides, a gifted sprinter known for his perseverance. "You should arrive at Athens and bring the insight about our triumph," he directed, realizing that speed was their main desire to quiet the feelings of trepidation of individuals.

Pheidippides set off right away, hustling over the rough landscape with the heaviness of the city's destiny on his shoulders. The sun thump down as his legs siphoned angrily, his heart beating in his chest. The prospect of his family, his home, and the opportunity of Greece prodded him forward.

A large number of miles, he ran, not entirely settled to convey his message. As the walls of Athens materialized, his body, depleted and fizzling, implored him to stop. Yet, Pheidippides wouldn't. Lurching into the city square, he accumulated his last ounce of solidarity and yelled, "Nike! We have won!" prior to falling to the ground.

Pheidippides at absolutely no point ever rose in the future, yet his penance was not to no end. Athens celebrated, realizing they were protected, and his inheritance would live on as an image of boldness, perseverance, and the will to battle for opportunity.

The distance he ran would later motivate the cutting edge long distance race, always connecting his name to quite possibly of history's most amazing accomplishment.
