Stay up to speed with London Marathon training

This year’s London Marathon takes place on 13 April, with tens of thousands of runners expected to compete. Sporting experts at London Marathon recommend a 24 week training programme prior to the big day, requiring ongoing commitment from those taking part, with hours of running put in behind the scenes.

That makes down-time with minor aches, pains and injuries even more frustrating, and with potentially weeks of training bring delayed by often minor setbacks, it’s worthwhile looking at the things you can do to help you stay on track with training.

Common training injuries listed by London Marathon* include muscular aches and pains, knee pain and achilles injuries. Conventional treatments for running ailments have long included pain killers and in some cases TENS treatment which blocks the body’s ability to perceive the pain through a series of electrical impulses. But treating the pain of sports injury often only masks the symptoms rather than healing them.

There’s now a new solution for runners which not only beats pain but is also thought to accelerate to body’s own healing process. New Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps are a safe, convenient, non-evasive pain management device, which use micro-current therapy to effectively target aches and pains at source and speed up the recovery process.

Commenting on the efficacy of micro-current therapy in relieving pain, Sarah Bazin, head of physiotherapy at Birmingham’s Heart of England NHS Trust, says:

“Micro-current therapy works by stimulating the pain source and in effect, helping the body to accelerate its own healing process. Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps utilise exactly the same technology and I would recommend them to anyone seeking convenient and effective pain relief – they really do work”.

Colin Jackson, one Britain’s greatest all-time athletes, has battled through back and knee pain, including seven knee operations during his career. He has since found relief from Pain Ease Wraps and says:

“Over the years, I’ve accepted the pain as a consequence of working my body so hard for so long. As an athlete, I use to spend so much of my time and money on physiotherapy. Now, I’ve finally found a solution to my pain that works and suits my lifestyle. I use Pain Ease Wraps at home and on the move to treat myself as and when I need it. I no longer have to live with ongoing discomfort or spend hours on the physio couch – Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps really have been a lifesaver!”
