SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --  Mega-marathoner and internationally recognized endurance athlete Dean Karnazes and Joint Juice, Inc. are pleased to offer training tips for the 2011 marathon season. Logging more than 3,000 miles this year alone, including a recent run across America, Karnazes shares his optimal training tips learned along the way, including taking Joint Juice® products daily to keep his joints lubricated and healthy.*

"Healthy joints are the foundation of a successful marathon training regimen," said Dean Karnazes. "As a mega-marathoner, I want to share all of the knowledge I've learned throughout my training to encourage others to stay active and healthy. As I gear up for the 2011 marathon season, I'm committed to being proactive when it comes to maintaining my joint health by taking Joint Juice® products daily."

To kick-start marathon season, Karnazes and Joint Juice provide basic training tips to ensure beginners and seasoned runners alike will have  enjoyable and injury-free races – whether it's gearing up for a 10K, half-marathon or full 26.2-mile adventure:

  • Take Care of Your Joints – Drinking water isn't enough to hydrate weight bearing joints.  Dietary supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin have been proven to maintain joint function and mobility.  Joint Juice® products provide a full day's supply of glucosamine plus chondroitin, vitamin D3, and other important vitamins and minerals to keep joints strong and healthy.
  • Outline a Realistic Training Schedule – Training for a half-marathon or full marathon is a serious commitment and requires lifestyle changes.  It's important to be prepared for what lies ahead by mapping out an achievable training schedule for at least 20 weeks prior to Race Day.
  • Practice Your Pace – Work up to your goal pace slowly, and then give your body time to adapt before you attempt to sustain a faster speed for the duration of your run. Practice a few goal-pace long runs during the latter half of training.
  • Watch What You Eat – Focus your diet on natural, whole foods, such as vegetables, meat and dairy, and avoid processed foods, including fast food, packaged products and soft drinks.
  • Cross Train – Cross-training not only enhances total conditioning and running performance, but it helps keep joints stable and prevents burning out. Incorporate biking and swimming into your training schedule.
  • Rest – Recovery is equally important when training for a marathon, half-marathon, or 10K. Don't run every day. Allow your body to rest between runs so it can recover from one run to the next, thus getting stronger between each run.

This marathon season, Karnazes can be seen running at the following races:

  • August 21 – 26, 2011 – Gore-Tex TransRockies Run
  • August 27 – 28, 2011 – The North Face Endurance Challenge, Kansas City, Mo.
  • September 2 – 4, 2011 – Kauai Marathon & Expo
  • October 7 – 9, 2011 – Chicago Marathon & Expo
