Strength Exercises for Race Day

Podcast
Written By Ali Marty

Season 1 Episode 50 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m discussing the strength exercises you should be doing for race day if your knee hurts.

This information is best suited for someone with

  • Runner’s Knee

  • Knee Arthritis

  • Degenerative Meniscus Tear

  • Meniscus Tear from Injury

  • IT Band Syndrome

A general rule is nothing new on race day, if you haven’t been strength training regularly no need to start now. Instead I tell you when to strength train. If you have been strength training already, in this episode I tell you the exact exercises I recommend to do race day or race week when you have knee issues.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
