Meet Lizzie.

She is a nomad. A Steeplechaser. A law student. An Olympic finalist. The current British Champion and the new European bronze and Commonwealth silver medallist!

Lizzie was born in the Philippines and bounced between there, Pakistan, Dubai and the UK before moving to St Albans when she was 10.

She studied at Princeton (twice becoming Ivy League Champion) and her base is currently Boulder, Colorado, where she combines training (in amazing settings), with her law school studies - given her travels it is no surprise that she plans to make Immigration law her specialism.

After the successes of 2022, the focus becomes building towards Paris 2024 and her second Olympics. After track-life, Lizzie is determined to go longer – and higher! She has a big ultra-trail events such as UTMB in her sights.

Lizzie describes her approach to recovery as ‘focusing on the basics and doing them really well’. She prioritises sleep, eats well and has established protocols for recovering after training and racing.

Lizzie first met our Recovery Cuffs ahead of Tokyo; in the holding camp with @TeamGB. They’ve since become a key part of her recovery tool kit.

“I first used the Riixo sleeves at the Tokyo Olympics. Our team physiologist recommended them as part of our post-race recovery strategies.

“Recovery is key at major champs. Time [between races] is short and you have to put back-to-back performances together to be in contention. I tend to use my Riixos on the go – recovering as I go from the track to our team recovery area and again leaving the venue to go back to the athlete accommodation.

“Outside of racing, I tend to train 6-7 days per week with double run sessions on 2 or 3 days. I am pretty consistent with my rest and food and after tougher sessions I use ice and compression. The Recovery Cuffs are great. They’re super convenient and my legs feel fresher for racing. They’re now a key part of my kit.”

THERMACASE

It's definitely a day for this hard-worker to take centre stage.

Our handsome, but humble, case ensures your Recovery Cuffs maintain their thermal conditions - extending their window of effective use.

They'll typically stretch use for up to six hours. But here at Riixo HQ, even in today's 36 degree heat, we have a pair of cuffs in the perfect temp range for icy recovery 4 hours after coming out of the freezer.

Our design is led by science and optimised for effective use in sport.

Meet Jack.

At the Ironman World Championships in St. George, Jack placed 314th in the world and 20th in his Age Group. Given the tough conditions that was one hell of a performance!

Jack is a competitor, a physio, a performance specialist and owner of @UKTriFit where he helps other triathletes and riders optimise their bike set up for performance and efficiency gains.

Jack has been using Riixo Recovery technology for more than 12 months and recommends them to his clients. Like him, many are busy athletes who are maintaining high training loads, demanding jobs and want to be there for their families. So recovery can often be forgotten.

“To build gains and avoid plateaus you have to recover well - but that’s not always easy. The team at Riixo have understood this. The Riixo cuffs are really well designed – they effortlessly fit in.”

A military adage says: “No plan survives first contact with the enemy”

Mike Tyson said: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”

Sometimes you’re forced to set new goals mid-contest, to improvise, because things don’t go to plan: An injury. A technical. A wardrobe malfunction. The wrong preparation. Pure bad luck.What matters is how you adapt. How clearly you’re thinking.

Who do you know who has inspired you when they’ve overcome that adversity? What level of grit have they shown?

Answer: As soon as possible.

Especially when you have a short recovery period before your next performance or big training effort.

Research published in the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine looked at this. They took a group of athletes and inflicted a high intensity exercise protocol before separating them into 3 recovery groups: 1. Rest without ice (the Control) 2. Immediate cold water immersion 3. Delayed cold water immersion (by 3 hours)

They asked the athletes to return 24 hours later for a series of tests to look at measures of performance and recovery. Both groups utilising icing had better recovery and performance outcomes. The group who iced immediately saw a significantly better outcome in next day performance, perceived recovery and inflammation when compared to the control group who did not ice.

The researchers could attribute greater recovery benefit of immediate icing to delayed immersion, with a confidence of 79%.

If you maintain a high training load or perform regular, high intensity, back-to-back sessions consider how you can ice in close proximity to the end of your session.

Sunday is race day.

Today, it is the inaugural @Hale10k - its been a long road for Mark and his team from Sensation Group (behind @TheRocTri Series of events) to get this local event on and we are delighted they have - because its a local for us too. ⁣ ⁣

And despite this week's weather conditions in the UK, the race is sold out. #Hale village will look incredible as the challengers push through and power to the tape at Ashley Hall.⁣ ⁣

Good luck to everyone taking part. See you at the finish.⁣ ⁣
