So, it’s the day after the marathon and you have probably woken up stiff and sore.
Updated: Apr 24, 2025
You will be pleased to hear this is completely normal, after all your body has just completed something huge! The thought of even getting off the sofa today may be beyond you. However, if we can convince you, there are a few things you can be doing to aid your recovery:
1. Go for a swim or a walk.
2. Do some gentle movements & stretches.
3. Keep fuelling yourself, you will still be burning more calories than you realise.
4. Stay hydrated, replacing the vital electrolytes and water you lost yesterday.
If you have tried the above and are still struggling with any of the following, then it may be best to get some help and advice from our specialist practitioners:
1. Extreme muscle soreness - our Massage therapists, Claire, Jamie, Kim & Tara, can offer sports and deep tissue massages to help alleviate muscle pain and stiffness.
2. Swelling/bruising/ severe pain – as our Sports Therapist, I can assess injury and advise on treatment and rehabilitation so that you can bounce back to running. Leaving something untreated may lead to a longer recovery.
3. Back pain - our Osteopath team – Joe, Caroline, Alex, Andy, Tasha, Al, Robyn & Kelly - can assess and treat spinal pain and discomfort.
4. Broken or black toenails or hard skin - our Foot Health Specialists Sarah & Gillian, and Podiatrist Catherine, can take care of your feet giving them a new lease of life post marathon.

This is painfully accurate. I literally crawled into bed last night, and waking up today felt like an extreme sport just trying to walk down the stairs. Honestly, when you are too sore to move your legs, scrolling through something fun and effortless is the best way to pass the time. I have been using minigame lately since it is totally free and you can just click and play instantly without downloading anything. Great way to stay entertained while resting those aching muscles. Hope everyone recovers quickly.

The tip about gentle movement and staying hydrated really resonates—after my last marathon, a slow walk was the only thing that saved me from seizing up completely. It’s reassuring to hear that the soreness is just part of the process.
