The Barnburner 5000 is just around the corner—September 13 at Royal Bay track in Colwood, BC. The flat track and speed-based heats are designed for fast times, making it a popular race for runners chasing personal records. But hitting your goal time takes more than just logging miles—your body needs to move efficiently when you’re pushing hard. That’s where Aria Health and Wellness Clinic can give you the edge before race day.
Track Racing Takes a Beating on Your Body
Unlike road races, where you can adjust your stride for hills or turns, track events like the Barnburner mean repetitive, high-speed motion lap after lap. Your hips, hamstrings, calves, and lower back take a hammering. Even minor alignment issues can turn into that nagging tightness you feel during speed work, or worse—the form breakdown that costs you precious seconds in the final 800 metres.
