Manchester Marathon & Bulletproofbodies

So it's April and that means Marathon season.

It began this weekend with the Manchester Marathon.

We started taping the day before the Marathon, giving advice on "Runner's niggles."

Taping with Rocktape helped athletes go stronger for longer.

Working with one of the sponsors of the Manchester Marathon Runners Need.

26.2 miles of the mean streets of Manchester.

The weather was amazing and the course is flatter than most, so the possibility of a Personal Best is always there for the taking.

Rocktape were there in the morning to tape, feet, calves,  knees, quads and nipples!

In the afternoon I was working with my friend at Athlete Matters, Sports Physio UK and of course my students from the Universities of Salford and Manchester Metropolitan.

We were waiting for the first athletes to finish and this was Patrick Martin in 2 hours 22 mins.

Lots of athletes were reporting cramping, some as early as 12 miles.

ITB syndrome, Hamstrings and calf tears were all part of the Marathon experience.

The que outside our Physio test was amazing as the Physio Students worked relentlessly for hours until all the athletes were treated.

Runners of the Manchester Marathon the Bulletproofbodies Team salute you.
