Editorial

The spring marathon season is upon us and many thousands will have their trials, tribulations and triumphs over the 26 miles race distance that so many people want to run. Consequentially this issue sees our Minimum Mileage Marathon Plan come to an end as it takes you to the start line. Our plan – as regular readers will know – is based on X-training and includes cycling and swimming and strength training as well as running. The aim is to get you to your marathon injury free, raring to go and robust enough to complete it. Getting around in a reasonable time is after all the goal of most recreational marathoners.

When it comes to getting round it’s very interesting to see how people actually do this – sort of neglecting those in fancy dress and definitely those in diving gear (replete with weighted boots), there are so many variations on how runners actually run. Yes, you do move one leg in front of the other to propel yourself forwards but everyone has their own technique idiosyncrasies. Some of these are Ok, whilst others are detrimental and could lead to injury especially when you consider the tens of thousands of times that your feet will impact on the ground over the course of training and racing. So to coincide with the marathon fever that’s so strong at this time of the year, we dedicate nine pages to running strong and running injury free. We provide numerous drills and exercises that will boost your running performance and make you a better runner. Our running feature continues in our regular Peak Fitness series, where Dr Jason Karp shows you how to become a more economic runner on the roads, country or track and in the gym.

How many of us would like to run away from work? In the current economic times it’s difficult to find the time to escape and get in some ‘you’ time and some training – and in any case you’d be ill-advised to ditch the 9-5 at present. So we thought we’d provide you with some tips and pointers to make sure that you can find the time to train and feel better because you have done so. Alexandra Wilson provides a great workout that you can do anywhere – even at work, it’ll boost your metabolism and improve all aspects of your fitness.

As usual ultra-FIT is packed full of workouts and training plans and nutrition tips whatever your fitness goals, level and type. Yes type – specifically we show you how to identify your ‘exercise personality type’ – doing so will help you determine what workouts are best for you and which will maximise your commitment to getting and staying fit.

And finally good luck to all of you, who will be running a marathon!
