in imageWhen you load your muscles through
strength training, you'll see
improvements in cross-sectional area
(size), length, and strength after
approximately 20 days.
Bone takes longer to change.
Increased bone diameter, thickness, and
volume don't become significant until
40 to 80 days.
For all the runners with a history of
bony stress injuries, start your "bone
prep" sooner than your running.

That's kind of beautiful.
