Carrie Gregory, left, and Sandra Cottreau have found that including weight training in their preparation for running a marathon can be beneficial. - ContributedLee's impacts to be felt as the storm tracks into Atlantic Canada this weekend | SaltWireWe thought it may be helpful to share some strategies and tips we have used throughout our years of running.
This year the P.E.I. marathon course is all within Charlottetown, a mix of pavement and Confederation trail. In the half and full marathon route, there are a few more hills than previous years when the course started at Brackley Beach.Last year was the first year for this newly certified course, and we can tell you from personal experience that including hills in your training will benefit your race.
We like to space out speed workouts and long runs so they are never within a day or two of each other, that way you have some time to recover. Speed workouts can include anything from short intervals to several kilometres at your goal marathon pace. Adding some cross-training like swimming, biking, yoga or weight training can be beneficial. Using different muscles can help reduce repetitive strain while still keeping up your cardiovascular fitness. We have both found that strength training and mobility can help with speed and reduce the risk of injury. The strength training does not have to be complex or expensive. We started out by going to fitness classes and searching running-related weight training and mobility videos on YouTube.
