Intermittent fasting (IF) can be safe and effective for runners, but its success depends on individual health conditions, goals, and how well one's body adapts to the fasting schedule. While some runners report improved metabolic flexibility and endurance, others may experience reduced energy levels and performance if not carefully managed.

Strength training can reduce the risk of injury for runners by improving muscle strength, endurance, and joint stability. Research supports its effectiveness in preventing common running-related injuries.

Foam rolling can temporarily reduce muscle soreness and improve range of motion, but it does not significantly speed up physiological muscle recovery.

Creatine improves power, sprint ability, and muscle phosphate stores, but does not significantly improve long-distance running performance. It’s beneficial mainly for sprinting or hill repeats.
