Congratulations to all who completed the Boston marathon! We are so proud of you! Now that you’ve completed your race, here are some recommendations for recovery:
✨️
1-3 days after the race: rest and hydrate, eat protein, and participate in light movement to promote blood flow
✨️
4-7 days after the race: engage in low impact activities such as walking and jogging, and perform short runs for up to 15-20 minutes
✨️
2 weeks after the race: return to normal training activities
✨️
Additional considerations for recovery include alternating between cold and hot water for contrary bathing. Cool pools induce vasoconstriction and hot pools promote vasodilation.
✨️
It is also advantageous to get plenty of sleep in a cool temperature room, ideally without caffeine or other stimulants.

Want to make running easier and safer? Add strength training. 💪

Strong hips, core, and legs help reduce strain on your knees and ankles while running. Even 2 short strength sessions per week can make a big difference in injury prevention and performance.

We are here to help you build a runner-ready foundation! 💙💙💙

The secret to returning to running safely? Progress gradually. 📈 🏃‍♀️

Increase either your running time or your distance each week—not both at the same time.

A slow build helps prevent common running injuries like shin splints, knee pain, and Achilles soreness. Stay patient. Your body will thank you! 💙💙💙
