How to... RUN A MARATHON
Whether you’re tapering ahead of a spring race or toying with the idea of signing up for an autumn one, our complete guide busts marathon myths and maxes out on motivation
PHYSICAL PREPARATION
You’d think a marathon training plan would just be run after run after run but no… it’s a bit more complicated than that

Running Drills
If you’ve ever watched athletes warming up ahead of a race, you might have seen them doing those weird hops and skips and leaps and wondered if that’s something you should have a go at yourself. Although you may feel a bit like you’re auditioning for Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks, once you get used to running drills, they can be a powerful tool in your armoury as a runner to improve power, speed, form and efficiency

Knee stretch – side lying quad stretch
Did you know that, for every pound you weigh, your knees have to absorb four times that amount of impact when you walk and even more when you run?
