Massage Converts

Helen massaging Jennie at our favourite location of the ultra trail - Jatar

During the race we were suprised to find a percentage of the runners who had never had a therapeutic or sports massage before. None of these runners realised the benefits of post race massage and after talking to them I think we persuaded them that not only were post race massages well worth it but also pre-race and regular massage. We had several converts and we hope that once they go home they can find someone to work with who can help them get the most from their training and races and improve on their times and stamina.

Al-Andalus Trail

Here's Annick massaging Colm McCoy after the fourth and hardest stage of the Trail.

After 62kms of hard running through the countryside ending with a 4km uphill section to get to the campsite the runners were glad of some relaxing massage.

This year we used Helen's anti-fatigue oil on a test group and got a positive response from it. We know it works but it's always good to get feedback from impartial participants who have been pushing their bodies and muscles to the limit. The consensus was it helped muscles recover quicker and there were no 'heavy legs' the next day.
