stay cool with ice...

We all know that icing an injury can aid in recovery. The trick is to ice correctly! Ice can decrease pain and inflammation, but if done incorrectly, you can damage surround muscle tissues. The three rules of ice:

  1. Apply ice AFTER your run, not before.
  2. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, but not more than 20.
  3. Ice throughout the day, five times is ideal.

Check out our favorite icing tool: THE CRYOCUP ($8+tax at Fleet Feet Davis) 

The Cryocup (pictured above) allows you to massage ice directly into the skin, without numbing your hand in the process! Applying pressure with ice penetrates the muscle tissue faster than an ice pack.
