Knowing what to eat during marathon race week can help you maximize your glycogen stores, support hydration, and arrive at the starting line feeling prepared and confident.

Myofascial Slings: The Secret to Efficient Running Perhaps the most overlooked concept in running performance is how the body works through slings. Your muscles don't function in isolation. Instead, they work together in long chains of connective tissue and muscle that connect one shoulder to the opposite hip. The most important for runners is the Posterior Oblique Sling, which connects: Latissimus dorsi Thoracolumbar fascia Gluteus maximus Opposite hamstrings When your right

Running Is Controlled Rotation Many runners think of core stability as "holding still." In reality, the best runners don't have rigid cores—they have responsive cores. Your trunk must be stiff enough to transfer force while remaining mobile enough to allow efficient arm swing and pelvic rotation. Too much motion wastes energy. Too little motion increases stress elsewhere. The goal isn't rigidity. It's controlled movement. The Principle of "Load and Explode" One of the biggest

It's More Than Just Abs As runners we’re often told we need a strong core and stable hips, but what exactly does that mean in practice? The purpose of your core isn't to give you six-pack abs—it's to create a stable, powerful platform that transfers force efficiently between your upper and lower body, and from right to left and back. Every stride you take depends on your ability to control movement, absorb forces, and generate power. A strong, well-trained core can improve ru
