Members of the Physioworks team participated in the Melbourne Marathon Festival on Sunday.
Physioworks Health Group Directors Andrew Dalwood, David Francis and Sue Francis, alongside members of their families – Hannah, Emily and Jack – ran the 21.5km Half Marathon.
All successfully completed the course, which finished inside the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The Physioworks Health Group Exercise Physiology team developed a 10-week running program tailored for each individual to help all to best prepare for the event, be ready to run and ensure successful outcomes.
In addition, the EP program outlined best preparation in the few days leading up to the event, including being well rested, ensuring correct food intake, hydration tips (i.e drinking plenty of water), stretching, short walks and some very light, short “warm-up” runs.
Andrew Dalwood said it was a great event, and even better to see how many people were participating, being active and engaging in fitness and the positive health benefits.
“Our preparation program was key. All the Physioworks team completed the course with no injury. This week recovery is most important with plenty of rest, light stretching a few short, slow runs from next week,” said Andrew.
