Run like a rabbit

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

The Olympics have finished, but Steamboat is getting ready to welcome its own influx of amazing athletes:  the ultramarathoners of Run Rabbit Run.  There's two races:  a 50-miler and a 100-miler, which means that participants could be running for up to 37 hours.

I know I have a couple of clients who will be running this year--I wish you the best.  I've been putting together a group of volunteer MTs to welcome the racers with a quick post-event massage (Rachel and I will both be pulling shifts!), but I've come up with something even better for the runners:

RUN RABBIT READY
and
RUN RABBIT RECOVER

RUN RABBIT READY is a pre-event massage, uniquely designed to address the challenges of a high-altitude ultramarathon:  bodywork focusing on the lower body to prep for the pounding it will take, specific work to free up the intercostal and diaphragm muscles to help with breathing, ending with assisted stretching for the legs and hips to loosen and lengthen the stride.  Price is $175 for a 2-hr session; bring shorts or leggings for the stretching segment.

RUN RABBIT RECOVER is a post-event massage.  Rather than targeting one or two different areas, this is a whole-body massage--with a twist.  To help aid recovery, the massage will be done with a CBD-infused lotion custom-made for Heartfire Massage.  CBD is a cannabinoid, extracted from hemp or marijuana, that has fantastic healing properties and is particularly good for reducing inflammation.  CBD is non-psychoactive and is legal in all 50 states.  Price is $150 for an hour and a half session.

These treatments are most effective when done as close to the event as possible.  Before this service is advertised to the Run Rabbit Run racers at large, I am giving my clients first crack at scheduling.  This option is not available via online booking; please contact me directly via email or phone (text okay) at 970.819.1074.

The runners I've talked to have basically begun salivating when I've described these sessions to them, but I figure I'll sweeten the pot just a dab:  book both treatments and save $25.  Depending on the response, I may expand these treatments and/or offer them on a more regular basis, so let me know what you think!

Happy Friday!  Be well, and I hope to see you soon.

    When not doing massage, Erica can often be found doing yoga, chasing goats, or puttering in the kitchen.  On occasion, these activities have been known to overlap.
