But, have you put thought into how to best recover from a marathon? Many don't prepare for what can happen to your body from running the full distance and maybe even faster than you had planned while the crowds cheer you on. Take a few moments to review  our tips for marathon recovery and hopefully it will make your whole marathon experience a better one. If you are running, best of luck from all of us at Blue Hills Sports & Spine. If you have post race issues, remember to see one of our experts!

At Blue Hills Sports & Spine, we help rehab a lot of runners. Although each patient is different, many runners have similar issues and mostly stem from not doing enough balanced leg strengthening. Running itself doesn't do much to fully strengthen your legs, so you need to do some additional work to help keep you on the roads and trails and off our tables and gym equipment! For throwing athletes, there is the "Throwers 10", so we have decided to put together the "Runners 11". These are some strengthening exercises that all runners should be adding into their program at least once a week. It's actually a really good workout and you need very little equipment to do it. We know runners like to run. So try our "Runners 11" and keep on running!
