This will be our 5th great year of being involved with Havens Hospices, helping their Golden Bond runners, those that have committed to run on behalf of Havens, achieve their aim of finishing the London Marathon. For some, the aim is just to<em> \u2018get round and enjoy it\u2019!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Ballot for places was announced in early October and charity runners will be eagerly confirming their places for the start line next\u00a0April.<\/p>\n<p>At The Body Matters our role in those preparations involves not only caring for sore muscles and joints from the increased <a title=\"training of runners\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebodymatters.co.uk\/blog\/2014\/08\/forefoot-running-or-heel-striking\/\">training of the runners<\/a> we see, but also advice on training, rest,\u00a0kit and nutrition as well as planning for the day itself and what to do afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>We are <a title=\"a multidisciplinary team\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebodymatters.co.uk\/blog\/2014\/09\/the-body-matters-southend-on-seas-premier-sports-injury-clinic\/\">a multidisciplinary team<\/a> and if the person you speak to doesn&#8217;t have the answer to your issue, then we can guarantee one of our team will.

Due to a wealth of actual experience within our ranks, we can offer honest and impartial advice on how to manage your goals for the day whether you are running your first or your 50th marathon.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning on running the London Marathon, or indeed know anyone who is running any marathon next year, and you would like some help or advice, then please call The Body Matters on 01702 714 968. <em><strong>Gift vouchers are\u00a0available.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This will be our 5th year involved with Havens Hospices, helping Golden Bond runners achieve their aim of finishing the London Marathon.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn-primary m-posts-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebodymatters.co.uk\/blog\/2014\/10\/2015-london-marathon\/\" title=\"Read more\">Read more <em class=\"iconfont-logo-arrow\"><\/em><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,8],"tags":[21,23,27],"class_list":["post-136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports-injury","category-sports-physiotherapy","tag-london-marathon","tag-running","tag-sports-physio"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
