These are not just random recommendations – they are items I personally use and wholeheartedly recommend to fellow masters runners looking to enhance their running experience.
Favorites Running Roundup:
Coldpod Ice Bath: The Coldpod ice bath is a game-changer for your post-run recovery, especially for older runners. It might make you grimace and scream for the first minute, but it’s worth it to reduce your inflammation and promote faster recovery. Link to Purchase
Meal Services! Factor Meals Meal Service: Factor Meals seriously are a game changer in taking the hassle out of meal prep.
