Good Luck Leggers | LA Marathon Weekend
March 15, 2012 – 11:31 am | No Comment

As we approach the start of the 2012 Los Angeles Marathon on March 18th. We want to take a moment to wish each and every participant a safe and healthy marathon experience.

Enjoy the moment that is marathon racing and do your best.  Rest assured as the race approaches that your training will serve you well on race day.  Know, that with each marathon it is estimated that each runner will take between 25,000 and 30,000 steps (1). It is always better and safer to take more than not enough we recommend to strive for 180 foot contacts per minute. With each step ground reaction forces up through the runners kinetic chain from the ankle to the hips and lower back increase by several times the individuals body weight. (2) With this being stated, it is a given that many of the participants in the marathon this Sunday will experience some type of pain or discomfort or may even experience an injury following the race.  This is especially true of those who are completing there first marathon.  Just know that unfortunately, this may be “par for the course” so to speak as each individual race concludes.  Common injuries following, and often leading up to, a marathon include: anterior knee pain, Illio-Tibial Band ITB syndrome, Achilles Tendonopathy, Plantar Fasciitis, and Pain in the Lumbo-Pelvic Complex of the low back. Not to mention the usual muscle aches and pains you will encounter and the increase in blisters, especially when it is wet (given the upcoming forecast). Apply more Vaseline/skin lube in the toes, heel, arm pits, or where there is repeated friction. Read the full story »
