London Marathon 2016 training

Foot injury after London marathon

Training for London Marathon 2016

There are a few things you need to consider when training for an endurance race like the London Marathon.

Training, Nutrition, rest, foot health and pre injury treatments


The type of training is very important which should not just be constant higher and higher weekly mileage. This will increase your risk of overuse injuries, stress fractures and exhaustion and dysfunctional muscle compensation patterns.  

  • Appropriate training, Cardio, core, balance and interval work and consider personal training. 
  • Good nutrition for your body to fuel the exercise.
  • Foot health, have your feet checked by a professional, consider foot inserts or sports Orthotics.
  • Pre- injury treatment  for marathon training, sports massage, ultrasound and acupuncture
