Many of you want to know: What Should I Do When I'm NOT Running?
Training for a marathon requires not only a running program, but also keen attention to strength and nutrition. Your body must have the appropriate amount of muscle tissue to prevent injury, and you must consume an amount of nutrients necessary to perform at peak capacity.
Monica Pampell's seminar will outline important concepts regarding strength and nutrition for runners, including:
- Injury prevention through strength and flexibility
- Targeting core muscles for optimal running form
- Strength for muscle groups you may not think of first (those neglected during runs)
- Proper pre- and post-workout nutrients
