Sophie had the pleasure of meeting this year's London marathon runners supporting Saint Francis Hospice in Havering. They discussed running prevention tips, the benefits of foam rollers, trigger point balls, massage runs and resistance bands to aid recovery and optimise injury prevention. They also discussed mindset, ensuring to book on a half marathon race during the training plan to gain experience what it is like to be part of a mass event - fuel preparation, bag drop, toilet queue and nerves!
Saint Francis Hospice has an amazing group of runners this year - some are training for their first ever marathon! Others are trying their luck once again - it is addictive isn't it!
We have also set up a whatsapp group to support the runners each week and really enjoying their post run selfies too, high fives all round!
Guys, you are running for an amazing hospice, we know you can all do it! Go and enjoy this amazing experience and believe in yourselves!
