On Wednesday the 14th May we had our final event in the Kinisi Run Hub Festival of Running. It was a running recovery workshop delivered by MoveWell and supported by Happy Shot. Everyone had the chance to take part in a mobility & activation warm up followed by a post-run self-massage session and the chance to trial some delicious juice from Happy Shot.

A big thank you to Hen, the co-founder of MoveWell, for bringing down the demo massage tools and delivering the warm up and post-run recovery sessions! A big thank you also to Ben, the founder of Happy Shot, for bringing along the juice bar and informing us about the health benefits of his tasty juices!

We had a solid turnout for our event with a mix of returning and new faces. Once everyone arrived, Hen from MoveWell took us through a pre-run warm up that involved some mobility and activation work with bands. After this we set off on an easy, social group 5k recovery run around the harbour. It was a perfect evening for it with blue skies and sunshine.

Once we returned to the shop everyone enjoyed a delicious fruit juice freshly prepared in the shop by Ben from Happy Shot. He told us a bit more about the brand and the health benefits of his fruit juices. After this Hen led a recovery session showcasing how to use recovery tools and effective stretches to help the body recover after training.

The Sphere is a cork massage ball that allows for a super targeted approach to specific muscle groups throughout the body. It is small enough to be easily portable.

The Peanut combines two spheres to make is easier to avoid bony prominences and target key areas such as the neck and thoracic mid-back muscles which can help relieve headaches, dizziness and pain.

The Roller is a lightweight and portable tool that provides an effective solution to desensitising tissue, reducing pain and promoting recovery, mobility and movement.
