Hi Patrick! I thought of you when I read this....
Fitness
Training for a marathon? Strength training is very beneficial to endurance athletes. If you look at today’s Olympic marathoners compared to those 20 and 30 years ago, you will notice today’s runners are much more muscular. Strength training should be done in cycles with the heaviest resistance training coming after the marathon season and then tapering off as the season approaches.
Any little bit of information always helps...I'm sure you knew this but thought I'd share it with ya. One of my goals is to be in a marathon.
Keep On Keeping On!
