7 TIPS FOR YOUR RACE
The products and tips that make training, racing and recovery a little better and more comfortable.
Is it almost time for your first marathon of the year, or do you just want to hit the trails more often? We know that it can be tough to get started and that you can easily encounter obstacles such as shoe chafing, nail pain and sore muscles. Here are our tips.
CLIP YOUR TOENAILS
Cut them straight off a few days before you put on your running shoes to avoid the onset of nail breakage. If you already have problems, read our guide.
AVOID SCROTAL CHAFING
Use a talcum powder or a special cream for the crotch before you hit the running track. It helps with both sweat and chafing.
TRUST YOUR ANTIPERSPIRANT
Sweating during exercise is normal. But with a good antiperspirant, you can avoid annoying sweat on your face and under your arms. If you also sweat on your face, hands or other parts of your body, Extreme Antiperspirant for face and hands is recommended.
USE SUNSCREEN
When you train or run a race, you are exposed to the sun's rays a lot. Don't forget to use sunscreen to protect your skin and avoid sun damage.
REPAIRING SHOE SCUFFS
If you have chafed your feet in new shoes or after hard workouts, there are good plasters to use. With these, you can get back to training quickly.
HELP YOUR MUSCLES RECOVER
Taking a hot bath after a hard workout can be the best way to let your muscles recover quickly.
TREAT YOURSELF TO A FOOT BATH
Give your feet the love they deserve after a hard workout or race. Supplement with foot salt and foot cream for best effect.
