I had a great time working with Michael Madison of the Gilbert’s Gazelles and the Austin Distance Challenge at the 3M Half Marathon today. Here are a few pics.

I really enjoy meeting new people and working on them to relieve their pain. Running pain after a half marathon (13.1 miles) is often significant so I recommend runners getting at least a “flush” post-run massage AND foam roll their tight muscles. Best case scenario, they should also get a few treatments of Active Release Technique to clear up any residual tightness and scar tissue that results from running at that intensity.

Overall, it was a beautiful day for running even with high winds and a late (53 min late) start. Most everyone I talked with had a great race. Keep up the great work Austin!
