As a fellow runner, I completely understand the discomforts that can come with increased training intensity. It’s essential to recognize that as your mileage goes up, so does the risk of injury if your recovery isn’t spot-on. I’ve learned this through experience.
When stretching and foam rolling don’t cut it, manual therapy can be the answer. Deep tissue work and mobilization techniques can release tight muscles and improve tissue elasticity, facilitating better movement and reducing the risk of strains.
Don’t dismiss those niggles as nothing; they’re signals from your body highlighting potential issues.
Running, a high-impact activity, can exacerbate small problems if left unaddressed, leading to more significant injuries.
Proactive treatment is crucial; waiting until the last minute could hinder your ability to enjoy the race and the hard work you’ve put into training.
If any issues arise, please don’t hesitate to message me or book in.
Timing is everything – schedule your pre-event massage 5 to 3 days before the race for optimal performance. Slots fill up quickly, as seen with HYROX, so book now to secure your preferred time.
