Don't Chase After the Times...

Active Edge Solutions - Personal Training Werrington Joggers Guesstimate - Tuesday
27th July, got a second place only 10 seconds adrift of the predicted time of 37:47 actual time 37:57 and it would have been easy to have squeezed in an extra 10 seconds quicker. Almost did not get to the race, forgot it was on and was surprised to see so many people at the event especially my friend Gill Baldry. I ran the whole time chatting to my long time freind who happened to turn up that evening rather than ...focussing on the race. They say don't chase after the times they will come to you. Obviously true on this occasion.

It was too late for Active Edge Solutions, Sue Burnett to enter the event this year. However, Sue Burnett from Active Edge Solutions will be attending this prestigious event to provide high quality pre and post race massage to help runners prepare for their race and help aid runners race recovery.


Pre-Race: Sports massage can help runners to enhance their warm up. It helps to warm up muscles, tendons and ligaments through invigorating techniques. One cyclist in a recent local race found his legs felt light and responsive as a result. He was pleasantly surprised at how effect a pre-race massage was before his event. Ideal prior to starting an event, pre-race massage helps prepare the runner, athlete or sports person for maximal performance. Typically 10-15 minutes in duration.

Post-Race: After cooling down, post event sports massage can help relax tight muscles, relieve cramp, and increase recover rate. An added benefit is reduced muscle soreness. Typically 10-15 minutes in duration.

Sports Conditioning Massage: Regularly used during training will help runners, cyclists and all active people alike with better sports conditioning. It can help you to improve your flexibility deal with your muscular problems before it impairs your performance. Ideal for all active people training for a marathon, half marathon, local area run, other endurance events or demanding sports. Why don't you consider including regular sessions of sports massage to help you prepare for the big event, helping you to calm pre-event nerves and energise you ready for action. You can visit me tomorrow at the Thorney 5 or contact me soon at the clinic, drop me a line, a text or call. Book yours today, it may help you gain your race or event success.
