Does Strength Training Help Marathoners’?

July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA – 07/31/2013—A recent study of marathon runners showed a 6% gain in running ability after six weeks a high weight/low-rep program.

The study which was published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, recommends that marathon runners that want to improve running economy head to the gym, rather than the track.

Wondering what running economy is? Running economy is how efficiently oxygen taken in during running is used. In theory, if running economy is improved, than a person should be able to run faster while at the same level of effort.
