The oldest marathon in the world and one of the six major marathon events in the world, the Boston Marathon is held on April 17 (“Patriot Day” – the third Monday in April every year). This year marks the 127th and is also the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013. It has the largest number of participants since 2019.
You must have heard that in marathon training, in order to achieve good results, you need to maintain a strong body and reduce the risk of injury, and strength training is essential. Marathon training is inherently time-consuming, with many experienced runners running six times a week throughout their training sessions. Along with running, there's usually cross-training, sports massage, warm-ups, cool-downs, and foam rolling, along with getting enough sleep and enough healthy calories to maintain the body's needs.
If you want to run faster and healthier, you need to strengthen and train your whole body muscle groups. The muscles mentioned here are not only the leg muscles, but also the buttocks, hips, back, abdomen and upper body.
Strength training or resistance training isn't just for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. Strength training has many health benefits, such as improving blood sugar levels, lowering blood pressure, strengthening bones, and reducing the risk of chronic disease.
Strength training also helps to improve running performance. It helps to increase speed, power, and endurance, as well as improving posture and reducing the risk of injury. By strengthening the muscles involved in running, runners can become more efficient in their running technique and become more powerful with each stride. Strength training can also help to improve running economy, which is the measure of how much energy a runner uses to go a given distance. By training the muscles used in running, runners can become more efficient and use less energy to run the same distance. For running, strength training has the following benefits:
1. Reduce the risk of falling
2. Improve body composition
3. Improve overall movement
4. Improve joint stability
5. Improve muscle strength, endurance and explosive power
6.Reduced Risk of Injury
Many runners pay more attention to the exercise of leg strength while running, but ignore the training of upper body strength, and even think that upper body strength is dispensable, which is a big mistake.
The legs are prone to soreness during running, but at this time, if the arm strength is sufficient, it can support the body, and the body can be driven to continue running by swinging the arms, making the exercise more durable.
Choose kneeling push-ups, narrow/wide-pitch push-ups, diamond push-ups, single-leg push-ups and other push-up exercises. Runners can choose appropriate movements to train upper body strength according to their own abilities.
