As an older athlete, now in my 70s, keeping my body moving in endurance races takes a little body work, where the input of experts helps a lot.
I must admit that I love my training life-style, but each day I have to work on tight spots, and from time-to-time I seek assistance from body movement experts. If I was as well off, financially, as Bob Hope in his later years, just like him I’d have a massage every day, but that happens to not be the case (until my business takes off, anyway!). So, I do much of the work myself with rollers and such, whilst taking regular guidance from my body movement teacher, Rebecca.
Here is a trick that I use to control roller pressure on my tight calves before and after running – gently does it!!!
As you age it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid and treat injuries, especially those associated with running, so vigilance is the key.
Happy Trails.
