Runner's Training Advice
For those of you well into your marathon training or just running for fitness, follow our tips for injury free running;
- Avoid running on concrete. It’s approximately 10 times as hard as tarmac. Woodchip is best, closely followed by even grass.
- Although warming up prior to your run is not vital (as long as you ease in gently), stretching afterwards is, to maximise recovery and avoid injury.
- Do not be a slave to your training log. If you are coming back from inury or have not covered as many miles as you would have liked, don't play catch-up now! You may have to adjust your expectations regarding time-related goals for the big day.
- Pay attention to niggles and do not over-train. Recovery, particularly tapering for the last few weeks is essential to ensure that you are fit and raring to go on the start line.
- And don't forget that we offer a runner's MOT to identify and deal with any potential injury problems along with an expert sports massage service to get you through those long runs.
GOOD LUCK!
