Can you run after a sports massage?
Can you run after a sports massage? Yes, an easy run the next day suits most people, and the legs often feel lighter for it.
Running the day after
You can run after a sports massage once your legs have had a little time to settle, usually the next day. An easy, conversational run helps the muscles move freely and lets you feel the change from the session.
Keep the first run relaxed rather than fast. The legs may feel loose and different, and an easy pace gives your body time to get used to that.
When to save the hard sessions
After a deeper session it makes sense to wait a day or two before intervals, hills or a long run.
- Easy run: the next day
- Steady run: after one to two days
- Intervals or hills: after two days
- Race: plan the massage a few days before
How your legs may feel
Most runners describe their legs as lighter and looser, with a longer, easier stride on the next run.
Fitting massage into your training
James asks about your training week and plans the session around it, so the deepest work lands on easier days. Many runners book every few weeks through a training block.
Reviews
Can you run after a sports massage reviews
I went from hardly being able to walk to playing football again within about 2 months.
It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.
