It's not just about the running When training for a marathon you will likely be fixated on your distance and speed. However, to run for such a long period of time you need a strong back, core and glutes, and the integrity of the pelvis, knees ankles and feet are highly important too. Supplement your running sessions with pilates and a strengthening, conditioning workout which include a focus on the posture, core and glutes in particular. Regularly include exercises that strengthen the hips, knees and feet.  Feet are often overlooked but they take a lot of the strain when running - simple calf raises and balance work such as single leg raises or lunges will help to strengthen the feet and ankles. Barre workouts offer great footwork so check them out. Having strength in the right places will help carry you forward as you run and will help prevent injury.
