Lecture: 'Get Ready!'
Please note that the lecture is in Dutch only
Every year, Enschede Marathon organises a number of interesting lectures in cooperation with the University of Twente. Topics include injury prevention, nutrition, mental preparation, tapering-off, biorhythmics and sleep. Scientists from various Dutch universities will take you through their research. Whatever distance you run, whether it’s 5 or 42 kilometres, visit our lectures and be even better prepared at the start!
Get Ready!
Prolonged due to success: Get Ready!
Enschede Marathon has been sharing scientific knowledge in an accessible manner for several years now. This has been so well received that we have decided to continue. This year, the Get Ready! lecture will take place again. This is how we help you reach your goals.
On the Wedsnesday April 12, we will kick off the marathon weekend with an interesting and educational lecture in collaboration with the University of Twente.
Listen to a number of top speakers on topics that can improve your performance as a runner. Even shortly before your competition you can still use it to your advantage. Among other things, tips & tricks from Michel Butter will be discussed. With his time of 2:09.58, he is one of the fastest Dutch marathon runners of all time. He knows like no other how you can achieve your goal! The training is over and now you go to your race. Michel will help you to arrive completely ready at the start and tell you how to perform optimally during the race itself.
Put Wednesday April 12, 2023 in your agenda and enjoy your progress!
