The Marathon Knee Blueprint
why the knee absorbs more marathon-training load than any other joint, and the two patterns behind most marathon-training knee pain
HUMAN DYNAMIX · KNEE PROGRAMS
The Marathon Knee Program
Train for 42.2K. Protect the joint that gets you there.
Marathon training puts more cumulative load through your knees than almost any other common training goal, and the knee is the single most common site of injury in marathon training. This program gives you a full 16-week mileage plan with a knee-stability strength routine built in from week 1, not bolted on as an afterthought.
