Run time Auckland Marathon!
Best of luck to everyone taking part in this year’s Auckland Marathon! Whether it’s your first 5K or your tenth marathon, smart training, recovery, and mindset make all the difference. Here are our favorite tips, reads, and strategies to help you stay injury-free, perform your best, and cross that finish line feeling strong.
Should we take the plunge?
Aquatic therapy isn’t just for swimmers — it’s a powerful rehabilitation tool that helps you move, strengthen, and recover sooner after injury. A recent study showed that athletes who began water-based rehab for severe ankle sprains returned to sport nearly twice as fast as those doing traditional physiotherapy. Learn why the pool could be your next step towards faster, safer recovery.
The single run that predicts running injuries
Daylight savings is here, and runners are hitting the footpaths — but so are running injuries. Research shows it’s not weekly mileage but your longest run that drives injury risk. Learn how to train smarter, recover stronger, and avoid setbacks.
