Good luck to everyone taking on the Chester Half Marathon tomorrow! 🏅
It has been a pleasure to support a variety of runners training for big days like this.
Whether you’re chasing a PB or just aiming to cross the finish line smiling, here are a few physio-approved tips to help you feel your best 👇
Don’t just survive it… enjoy it 😅
BEFORE THE RUN
🔥 Warm up properly
💧 Hydrate like it’s your job
👟 Nothing new on race day
🍌 Fuel your body, not just your playlist
DURING THE RUN
🐢 Start slower than you think
💦 Sip little & often
🧠 Good posture = happy legs
🚩 Sharp pain? Don’t ignore it
AFTER THE RUN
🚶 Walk it off
🥤 Protein + carbs = recovery magic
🦵 Stretch & foam roll tomorrow’s soreness away
😴 Recovery counts as training too
🏅 Your medal is great… but finishing injury-free is even better.
