Marathon season is here, and with the Chicago Marathon quickly approaching, it’s time to talk about something most runners overlook—recovery. At IMPACT Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery, we’re here to make sure every mile of your training counts by helping you recover smarter, not just harder.
Many runners assume that rest equals recovery—but true running recovery requires proactive steps to help your body adapt, rebuild, and perform at its best. In fact, you gain fitness between your runs, not during them—which means what you do after a workout is just as important as the training itself.
Watch Our 3 Step Recovery Protocol Video and schedule your recovery session today!
Adding sports recovery to your weekly training can dramatically enhance performance and reduce injury risk. Here’s how:
Speeding Up Recovery: Reduce post-run soreness and fatigue so you can hit your next training session ready to go.
Preventing Common Running Injuries: By addressing muscle imbalances and overuse patterns early, runners can avoid common training injuries like IT band syndrome, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis before they become setbacks.
Optimizing Performance: Consistent recovery sessions improve mobility, circulation, and muscle function—helping runners maintain peak performance throughout marathon training.
