Top Tips To Get Your Summer Off To Running Start

With the upcoming Viking Marathon approaching it is time to start preparing for the big run, whether you’re a beginner or not.. don’t worry…  we are here to provide the best tips to make it fun and enjoyable for all.

1.Magnesium

 This will be your best friend and a very important supplement for any athlete who plans on participating in this year’s Viking Marathon. Magnesium plays a role in the normal function of your muscles. As exercise can also lead to a loss of magnesium in sweat it is important to get just enough. A small deficiency in this may reduce performance and increase stress on the body.

SOS Health Athletes Magnesium Spray Oil prevents cramps and relieves them fast while also helping to warm muscles, increase their working capacity and lessens the risk of muscle injury.

PharmaNord BioActive Magnesium supports proper function of nerves and muscles, including the heart. Bio-Magnesium is a highly absorbable magnesium supplement with three potent magnesium sources.
