HOW IS YOUR TRAINING GOING FOR THE EVENT?
6 Weeks Out From Race day - Physiotherapist’s Running Tips! 🏃♂️
Whether you’re preparing for your first 5km or taking on the full marathon during the The Hallora Marathon , now’s the time to fine-tune your training, recovery, and body maintenance.
Here are some physio-approved tips to keep you running strong and injury-free 👇
✅ Be Consistent, Not Perfect: Avoid making big jumps in distance or intensity. Aim for no more than a 10% increase per week.
🛌 Prioritise Recovery: Sleep, hydration, and mobility work are just as important as the kilometres you log.
🏋️♂️ Keep Strength Training In: Include 2 sessions a week targeting calves, glutes, hamstrings and core to improve efficiency and reduce injury risk.
🍌Practise Your Fuel and Hydration: Now’s the time to test what your body tolerates during long runs — both food and fluids.
🧠 Listen to Your Body: Some muscle soreness is normal, but sharp, worsening, or persistent pain is not. Respect the early warning signs and adjust your training if needed
💥Small ni**les can quickly become bigger setbacks if ignored. If you notice discomfort that’s not settling, book in with our physiotherapy team — we’ll help keep you running toward the finish line.
