YOU FINISHED A MARATHON! 🎉 Now comes the part most runners skip: proper recovery.

Here’s what’s ACTUALLY happening in your body post-race (hint: it’s way more than just tired legs) and exactly what to do about it, week by week.

Pelvic health is more than postpartum care (although we absolutely offer that too!).

Pelvic health is performance health. 🙌

Make or female, young or old, your pelvic floor is essential to run, move and play well. And when it isn’t on it’s A game, the ripple effects are real.

So if you’ve been navigating a persistent hip or back concern that just never seems to get 100% there, consider reaching out about the role that your pelvic floor might be playing.

*no internal exam is required to start. We meet you where you’re comfortable, develop a plan together, and build from there.

The ask of a race is no joke.

Months of building, planning, and flirting with just how much you can push yourself.

Big emotions before, during and after.

Systemic inflammatory changes that take up to a month to fully clear (it’s not just your muscles that took on serious stress, team!).

🙌 So here’s your reminder to chill. Take your time. Refuel. Reflect. Introduce gentle movement, but don’t stress about fitness.

You’ll be so much stronger if you allow your body and mind what they need to recover fully.

And if you feel like you need some help or guidance, we’ve got you! 👊

Also, huge congrats! You did the thing! It can’t have been easy, but you are incredible.

Trust us, future you is stoked that today you is making good life decisions.

And while we’re here, may we suggest that the weird ni**le that you’ve been fighting through for a few weeks is way less likely to be part of your race day if you tackle it head-on now instead of pretending it isn’t real?

Sincerely,

A crew of clinicians on a mission to make all your race day dreams come true! 👊

We’ve all been in that moment late in a run where the wheels are falling off, your legs weigh at least 628 pounds, and you know that “shuffle” is the only way to describe your stride.

Instead of relying on hope and prayer to get you through those moments, here are a few key strategies to fend off those exhausted legs and run stronger for longer. 🙌

📣 Running is essentially controlled falling; hopping from one foot to the next while fighting gravity with every step. The better you resist that gravitational pull, the more efficient your stride becomes.

Enter your quads: your body’s built-in shock absorbers and braking system. But they only work effectively if you train them properly.

And if you do, you stand to gain:

• Reduced impact on your knees and hips
• Less energy needed to maintain your pace ⚡️
• Capacity to run longer before those quads start to question your life decisions!

Swipe through for key strategies to strengthen your quads. We promise it doesn’t have to be complicated to be game-changing!
