Goals

“It is necessary to plan and alternate workouts that help improve the physical skills essential for good performance in competition, such as stretching, flexibility and mobility,” Zair said.

Body recovery

Krieger noted that the main running-related injuries are ankle sprains, tendonitis, and joint pain, such as knee and hip pain. “After this type of training, you need a regenerative workout, with a low heart rate, to release lactate. If there is not an interval of at least 48 hours between these activities, the level of creatine kinase in the blood increases a lot and these micro-injuries can become a more serious injury,” he explained.

Heating
