On Saturday, we joined the Banana Bread Chasers Run Club in South Perth!
After their morning run for their collabation with Hoka and The Running Centre! Due to water access restrictions, we ended up setting up just 2 ice baths for BBC Run Club - we appreciate there was a bit of a wait but it was WELL worth it!
Nice work Johan! The first to try out the ice bath on Saturday! 💪

Looking for an ice bath after your run?

With 400kg of ice used across the two days, we can assure you the cold temps were both intense and well worth it! On the first day, our ice baths ranged from 5-10C, and the second day we went even colder - our coldest bath at the recovery-game changing temperature of 3C. For beginners and those just trying out ice baths, we recommend starting around 10-15C and reducing from there, which helps to ease into the routine of ice baths. Do 3-5 ice baths per week, roughly 11-15 minutes in total per week. Then, reduce the temperature as you go & experience the benefits of challenging yourself.
Let's go kiddo!
Ice baths enhance recovery by constricting blood vessels, flushing waste products, and reducing swelling and tissue breakdown. After warming up, blood flow increases, accelerating the healing process and reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), making them a strategic choice for runners seeking efficient recovery and improved performance.
Ice baths can also assist with shin splints faced by runners, by reducing inflammation and pain in the affected area. The cold water constricts blood vessels, which can decrease swelling and provide temporary pain relief. However, it's important to address the underlying causes of shin splints, such as overuse, improper footwear, or inadequate stretching, for long-term relief. Consulting a healthcare professional for a comprehensive treatment plan is advisable.
