SUNSHINE COAST MARATHON DONE — NOW WHAT? 🏃♂️
Huge congrats to everyone who will cross the finish line this weekend! Whether you smash a PB or just survive the last 5km on willpower alone, your body just did something amazing 💪
Here’s how to recover smart (not just sit on the couch and hope):
✅ First 48 hours — gentle movement beats total rest. Walk, don’t lay flat all day.
✅ Hydrate + refuel — protein + carbs within the first hour if you can.
✅ Watch for warning signs — sharp pain, swelling, or pain that gets worse (not better) day-to-day isn’t normal soreness.
✅ Don’t skip the “boring” stuff — gentle stretching and mobility work now saves you weeks of niggles later.
✅ Get checked, even if you feel fine — marathons expose imbalances that don’t show up until week 2 or 3.
📍 The team at Caloundra Physiotherapy Centre is offering post-marathon recovery assessments this week — we’ll check your gait, address any tightness or pain points, and get you a personalised recovery plan so you bounce back stronger (and stay injury-free for the next one 👀).
Book online or give us a call 5491 3914 — let’s keep you moving. 🌊
