Running a half-marathon puts a lot of stresses and strains on the body. This article from specialist website ‘therunningbug’ gives advice on how to avoid injury, how to recover and how to get back to training as soon as possible for the next one!
Bathing in ice-cold water or putting your feet in a bucket of icy water can help to reduce aches and pains and promote a quicker recovery. Ice baths are a popular recovery method. After a gruelling training session or match, sports performers get into an ice bath for 5–10 minutes.
