Running with APR15®
Running is one of the most accessible physical activities available. Your body was built to do it, and all you have to do is run out your front door.
It's also a mental exercise in determination to move a painful body further and further. Anyone who has taken up running will immediately feel the painful effects. Anyone involved in running knows you’re prone to all types of pain and injury.
On a basic level, the common hot spots for pain and injury are hips, hamstrings, knees, shins, ankles, and feet. And the majority of these issues come down to stress and inflammation of tissue. Inflamed bursa on the outside hip, iliotibial band, patellar tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, etc.
Distance runners will know the inflammation they experience is great and clearly observable, in the form of heat, redness, swelling, tenderness, and pain.
You know that your nutrition affects recovery by supplying your body the fuel to break down micronutrients and send them through the bloodstream where they are needed.
By rubbing APR15® over your pained tissue, microcellular carriers bring anti-inflammatory tissue rebuilding nutrients directly where they are needed, to relieve pain and enhance recovery.
This happens while APR15® simultaneously blocks the Cox2 and Lox5 pain pathways, and increases positive blood circulation to the area.
Using APR15® topical pain relief cream in small amounts BEFORE you run, in areas you anticipate normal pain, can help stave it off and improve recovery later.
There are a few strategies to ensure the greatest efficacy by opening your pores and ensuring maximum absorption. The most important tip being to spend the time to rub the APR15® into the area thoroughly.
- Try a warm shower before application, dry the area and apply.
- For sore feet - Try creating a foot bath of warm water, with some APR15® added directly to the water.
- For knees and deep tissue - Try first placing a warm damp towel over the area, then applying APR15®, and replacing with a freshly warmed/dampened towel to seal the area.
Running can be a tremendous mental and physical experience. But when you’re in pain it can quickly lose its appeal.
Topical, Targeted, and Effective - Live pain free, Try APR15® today.
Note: Always consult a physician and trainer if you are experiencing a chronic pain, bone clicking, or discomfort, when you run. Preventing serious injury is always paramount.
