On the day

Footwear

It’s really important to look after your feet with runners that have good support. Race day is not the day to break-in your new runners!

Bras

A properly fitted sports bra is essential to provide support for the breasts and reduce discomfort or pain, especially if you have a larger chest. Check out our leaflet: NAVIGATING THE SPORTSBRA MINEFIELD by Suzanne Carney. For more on this read here

A Chartered Physiotherapist is a university graduate with hospital-based training who has undergone a medical-based degree. They are competent in detecting serious illness in the early stages and identifying when further investigations are necessary.

When you choose a physiotherapist who is a member of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists (ISCP), you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that they have been trained to the highest academic and professional standards. The ISCP is Ireland’s only professional body within its field and the only association in Ireland recognized by the World Confederation of Physical Therapy.
