While manual therapy is an excellent addition to your training strategy, integrating the right approach to your overall training plan can maximise your results this season. Here are tips for optimising your plan:

 

1. Set Realistic, Achievable Goals

Define your goals for the upcoming season—whether that’s completing your first marathon, aiming for a personal record, or building endurance. Break these goals into smaller, manageable milestones to track progress and build momentum.

 

2. Follow a Well-Balanced Training Plan

Your training plan should incorporate a mix of long runs, interval training, recovery days, and active rest (swimming, cycling or yoga) to prevent overuse and build strength. Working with a coach can help tailor a plan that works for your fitness level and goals.

 

3. Incorporate Strength Training

Strength training improves your running efficiency, prevents injury, and builds muscular endurance. Include 1-2 days per week of strength work focusing on your core, legs, and glutes.

 

4. Listen to Your Body

Adapt your training based on how you feel. Pay attention to signs of overtraining, like persistent fatigue, aches, or changes in your running form. Manual therapy can help identify underlying issues early so you can adjust your approach without missing a beat.

 

5. Recovery Isn’t Optional—It’s Part of the Plan

Recovery strategies like stretching, hydration, rest, and manual therapy treatments should be integrated into your weekly schedule. Recovery allows your body time to repair and adapt, helping you train consistently without setbacks.

 

With these strategies, combined with regular manual therapy support, you’ll be primed to get the most out of your training plan this season.
