The marathon runner's anti-inflammatory drink

Marathon training: 60-100 km/week, 3-5 months of progressive overload, joint impact equal to 3-4× body weight per stride, and the metabolic chaos of 42.195 km on race day. Your body is the machine AND the fuel.

Marathon-specific benefits

  • Runner's knee — patellofemoral pain from repetitive impact; daily COX-2 anti-inflammatory
  • IT band — iliotibial band syndrome from high mileage; anti-inflammatory for lateral knee
  • Achilles — tendinopathy from training volume; tendon protection via MMP inhibition
  • Plantar fasciitis — football impact; anti-inflammatory fascia
  • GI distress — 30-50% of marathon runners have GI issues during races; ginger is prokinetic and anti-nausea
  • DOMS recovery — 25% reduction in delayed onset muscle soreness (clinical research)

Race day protocol

1 shot 60 min before start. Anti-inflammatory baseline + anti-nausea for the race. Zero sugar = no GI bomb at km 30.

INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. Run farther, recover faster.
