At The Impact Initiative, we’re trading our clinic tables for running shoes this October as we tackle the Marine Corps Marathon - our very first Marathon! Training for your first 26.2 miles is as much about smart preparation as it is about mileage. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned hybrid athlete stepping into the marathon world, here’s how we’re structuring our build-up—and how you can follow along pain-free.

Your Achilles tendon is the launching pad for every stride—storing and releasing elastic energy, absorbing ground reaction forces, and powering your push-off. We blend data-driven assessment with targeted interventions to help you cultivate an Achilles that’s not just pain-free, but performance-ready.
