Are you a Triathlete? Have you recently competed?
Did you recover correctly ready for your next training block?
How to recover in the week following a Triathlon
Use this week to recover and rest when you need to
Keep your hydration, electrolytes and protein high
Lots of stretching, yoga and use of a foam roller to loosen tightness in the muscles
Book in for a maintenance post-race sports massage
Be kind to yourself
Assess how your body is feeling after you have recovered for a few days
Assess your own body mechanics to check all is in working order. Do you have any niggles or past injuries that may affect your performance going forwards?
Don't leave it too long to get checked incase it manifests into a show-stopping injury, especially if you have another training block coming up.
Do you know the benefits of Sports Massage? Maintenance sports massages are a must especially for the demands of a Triathlon!
Give yourself a regular 'MOT' to preserve your body, so it is fit and ready to take on every race you want to and not based on how your body feels.
It is super important to prepare the body - Our bodies need regular maintenance just like cars, in fact we need MORE!
