Got a massage today and that's probably it. My therapist says massage should be part of the workout. So, I'm working massages in.
The deep tissue massage helps relieve stress, but also works the muscles hard and is equivalent to a strenuous workout. In fact, she advised me not to get the massage within 48 hours of a race.
I'm preparing for the Battlefrog series event taking place near Nashville, TN. Next week I'm tapering my workout and thought that this would be a great time to work the massage in.
However, before going, I wanted to get some exercise in:
10 pull ups x 5
33 push ups x 3
150 air squats
Deep tissue massage-The massage was great and she recommended soaking in Epsom salts to relieve muscle pain from the massage and drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration and flush out impurities that the massage released.
True to her word, the massage proved to be relaxing, exhausting, pleasurable and painful. Kind of like some of the Battlefrog course charactoristics.
