🏃♂️ The Cross-Training You’re Probably Missing in Your London 2026 Marathon Prep
Training for a marathon isn’t just miles -> it’s how your body is prepared to handle them.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Reformer Pilates instructor, I see runners struggle not from running itself, but from:
• Poor load management
• Weak stabilisers
• Limited joint mobility
• Inefficient movement patterns
Enter Reformer Pilates:
✅ Builds deep core and hip stability
✅ Improves shock absorption and alignment
✅ Trains your body for single-leg load demands
✅ Enhances neuromuscular control and breathing
It’s not “extra work” --> it’s future-proofing your body for race day.
