Assessing Running Gear and Body Condition
As the marathon training progresses into week four, it's essential to assess both the condition of running shoes and the runner's physical state. Checking shoe wear patterns helps determine if adjustments are necessary, especially if shoes show excessive wear on one side. This stage serves as a crucial reflection point where runners evaluate what training habits are effective and which areas require extra focus as they move into the next block of training. Establishing a solid foundation is important, but adapting to individual needs in training intensity and recovery techniques is equally crucial.
