BMO Vancouver Marathon hosts speaker series on training

Runners getting ready for this year’s BMO Vancouver Marathon can get pumped up by a new monthly speaker series put on for this year’s race.

The talks are hosted by SportMedBC and will feature certified sports medicine professionals covering topics on cross training, rehabilitation, sports science, training, biomechanics and exercise psychology. The idea is to promote healthy living and better performance through sports and get athletes ready for the BMO Vancouver Marathon. Each speaker will go on for a 30-minute talk which will be followed by a Q & A session.

The series of five will kick off on January 21 where the first 50 people in the door will be given a free RunVan toque and a talk on injury prevention. The last one is to be held on April 8 and will be three times the size.

Each of these events is free and open to the public.
