Stretching and Post-Run Recovery for Your Knee When Training for the Disney Marathon

Written By Ali Marty

Season 1 Episode 40 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

Hey! How’s it goin?

In this episode I’m talking about how to set up your stretching and post-run recovery routine so you reduce knee pain.

I recommend creating a stretching routine that lasts 10-15 minutes after a run to use static stretches for flexibility, and use dynamic stretches before a run in combination with your walking warm up to prepare your muscles and joints for your run.

After you’re done stretching some things to include in your post-run recovery routine to improve muscle recovery are foam rolling, massage gun, hot epsom salt baths or ice baths.

Listen to the episode to learn how to set up your after run routine to optimize your performance for Disney Marathon training.

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.
