Training and Recovery

Pre & Post Marathon

Strength training prevents injuries and builds resilience in marathon runners, crucial for handling high mileage. It improves running economy, allowing runners to use less energy at the same pace, delaying fatigue. Exercises like squats and lunges enhance stride power and overall running efficiency.

Recovery allows muscles to repair and rebuild after the stress of training, preventing injuries and promoting adaptation. Adequate rest and recovery strategies, like stretching and proper nutrition, optimize performance gains from training. Prioritizing recovery helps runners avoid overtraining and burnout.
