Sports Massage Offers for Marathon training:

The benefits of sports massage are well documented (visit our sports massage page). However, during your marathon training they are ESSENTIAL through regular focused training your body adapts to the rigors of the training. However, post run recovery strategies are very important (including SMR techniques with a foam roller) but especially sports massage. The relief and injury prevention it can provide by releasing tight muscles through massage and stretching cannot be underestimated.

Testimonials from Brighton Marathon Training 2011:

“As always training for the marathon always has to happen when it’s dark, cold and wet and requires something more that just running to be slightly inviting. I found the other members of the club enjoyable company and helped me along but I’ve found your regular emails giving the next run route/distance very useful, even the ‘hilly’ ones.

I have to honestly say that a lot of training runs I’ve done with you for the marathon training I would not have dreamed of doing on my own and I think that ( not at the time!) has been a great help. Especially when I’ve run up Snakey Hill for the upteenth time but then realise I can do this without stopping, I can hear the ‘Rocky’ music near the top now!”

“I’ve really really enjoyed training with the group, to be honest I have no idea how I would have made it through the training without the support that it brings. I certainly would have turned back a lot earlier on a good few runs that’s for sure! I suffered from a knee injury from quite early on in the training and everyone was really good to me, being patient when I needed it and also giving me lots of useful advice on how to work through the pain. It’s really useful having the option of sports massages with someone who knows how you run and the aches and pains that you are suffering from. Also being able to email / text is really great.”

“I never thought I would ever say the words ” I’ve run a marathon “  but now I can having just completed the Brighton marathon in 5 hours 11 mins!! I really dont think I would have got through the 16 weeks of training without the help of Rob Callow and his Get Jogging Sunday Marathon training & Wednesday evening sessions, both of which meet at FitForAll in Hove. Rob was always happy to help with useful tips on running and fitness. Training with a mixed group of friendly people really worked for me, we were a mix of abilities which enabled me to pair up with somone on the longer runs. I’m not sure what my next challenge is but I know I will continue to attend the Wednesday session. Thanks Rob, keep up the good work ”
