Running marathons has been known to impact the body with significant wear and tear from well-documented research. The physiological effects in this long distance event impact performance; therefore our training programs will provide you with best practices for nutrition, recovery and body maintenance routines for the pre workout, training, and post-workout regime. ‘Healthy’ runners should consider fueling as a primary goal the same way we wouldn’t pour water in the engine of a car with high expectations.
When a runner’s diet is balanced, varied and is colorful (meaning a mixture of fruits, vegetables and other foods), they will be most likely consuming enough nutrients to give themselves enough fuel for their running volume, their immune systems, and the necessary vitamins and minerals to ward off infections and diseases. Understanding how to maintain homeostasis throughout the physical and mental demands of training will be crucial for overall longevity in the sport.
Core and functional strength training for endurance running are necessary to perform successfully. With improved running economy a runner gains the ability to run with less effort as the main performance benefit. The most important aspect for strength work is to incorporate these practices at least twice a week. Our program will focus on prehab, injury prevention exercises, core strength, functional strength, body weight exercises, circuit training and plyometrics. Additional benefits to strength training are that it increases bone density keeping tendons more pliable and elastic.
