How long should a typical marathon training plan be?

Most plans sit somewhere between 16 and 20 weeks and there is a good reason for that. Your body needs enough time to build mileage gradually, adapt to the load, and still have room to taper properly before race day.
Go too short and you arrive at the start line underprepared and at a much higher risk of injury. Go too long and you risk burning out before you even get there.
But here is what most runners do not think about. The length of your plan matters far less than what is inside it. A well structured 16 week plan will always beat a poorly structured 20 week one. Rest days, progression weeks, and load management are what actually get you to the finish line healthy.

If you are a complete beginner, leaning towards 20 weeks gives your body the best chance to adapt without being rushed. If you have a solid running base already, 16 weeks is usually plenty.
The key is that your plan should be built around you, not just copied from the internet.

Does foam rolling prevent running injuries? 🏃‍♂️

Here's the deal: Regular foam rolling = way less drama.
My runners see massive improvements in:
✅ Lateral knee pain (hello, IT band relief)
✅ Tight calves that won't quit
✅ Quad tightness slowing you down

But here's the thing — technique matters. Rolling randomly won't cut it.
Got stubborn knee pain or tightness that's messing with your miles? Let's fix it properly.

DM "RUNNER" to get started 💬

Studies show that elite marathon runners spend around 80% of their training at low intensity. And runners who consistently push too hard are up to 70% more likely to pick up an overuse injury before race day.

That ni**le in your knee, the tightness in your calf, the hip that flares up after a long run — more often than not, these are your body's way of telling you that your training load is outpacing your recovery.

Slowing down is not falling behind. It is how you stay in the game long enough to actually cross that finish line.
If you are dealing with pain that is interrupting your training, that is exactly what we are here for. DM us and let us help you get back to running without fear. 🏃

Will elbow pain resolve on its own? 💻
If you're dealing with elbow pain from hours at your desk, waiting it out isn't always the answer.
See a physio if:

Pain lasting more than 2 weeks
Discomfort while typing or using your mouse
Weak grip strength (can't hold your coffee cup?)
Pain radiating down your forearm

Common culprits for desk workers:
Tennis elbow, mouse elbow, poor ergonomics, repetitive strain injury (RSI), and nerve compression.
Early intervention prevents chronic pain. As an online physiotherapist, I assess your workspace setup and create a personalized treatment plan—all virtually.
Don't let elbow pain kill your productivity.

➡️ Bottom line: We're not automated. We adjust to you and your needs, every step of the way.

This is one of the most common elbow complaints we encounter, and it's usually linked to dips performed too deep or with excessive load through the joint capsule.
If you're experiencing pain during dips, here's what we recommend:

Elevate the surface and bend your knees. This gives you better control over your range of motion and reduces strain on the elbow.
Or switch to a tricep kickback with a dumbbell, keeping your elbow tucked close to your side. You'll still target the triceps effectively, but without the joint stress.
Smart training isn't about pushing through pain. It's about working with your body to build strength sustainably.

💪 If your elbow pain persists or keeps returning, don't ignore it. Book an online assessment so we can identify the root cause and create a plan that actually works.

Studies show tennis elbow isn't just overuse—it's compensation. Patients consistently present with scapular dyskinesis and shoulder weakness (Lucado et al., 2012).

Stop treating the elbow in isolation. The problem started upstream

Forearm pain that won't settle isn't always tennis elbow.

Radial Tunnel Syndrome is rare, often missed, and usually responds best to the right rehab plan.
Surgery can help in some cases, but recovery isn't instant — progress takes months, not weeks.

The key? An accurate assessment and a plan you can follow anywhere.
