The Secret to Stronger, Smarter Marathon Training

The Secret to Stronger, Smarter Marathon Training

Training for a marathon is about more than logging miles... it’s about preparing your body to perform, recover, and stay injury-free. That’s where Pilates comes in.

 

Pilates isn’t just a workout; it’s a tool to complement your running. With targeted sessions focusing on strength, mobility, and recovery, it helps runners of all levels stay race-ready.

 

Here’s how:

  • Build Functional Strength: Pilates targets the stabilising muscles that running alone doesn’t fully engage, keeping your joints supported and your stride efficient.
  • Improve Mobility: Greater flexibility and joint mobility mean a more fluid running form and less risk of strain or overuse injuries.
  • Support Recovery: Recovery-focused sessions reduce soreness and fatigue, helping you bounce back faster between long runs.
  • Prevent Injuries: By strengthening weak areas and balancing your body, Pilates reduces common running injuries and keeps you on track to the start line.

 

Your Reformer’s Pilates for Runners: Marathon Edition program offers 5 sessions a week, from activation and strength to recovery and performance. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly into your marathon plan, ensuring every step of your training is smarter and safer.
