Today is such a pivotal gift and EVERY runner should own one, including myself, but alas, this is actually on my Christmas list as well. I have used one when I was running in high school and though painful, it works serious miracles.
Here's a rundown of "The Stick"... The Marathon Stick was specifically designed for long distance runners, or any runner for that matter, that would like to get any of the following benefits:
Increased flexibility
Extended endurance
Accelerated recovery time
Reduced muscle soreness, stiffness & pain
Prepares your muscle for rigors of activity
Flushes muscle from rigors of activity.
It's small enough to be taken everywhere, even on trips or running vacations.
You can get your very own "The Stick" here at TriSports.com for 29.99. Visit the official "The Stick" website HERE and choose your own stick.
You can even look super happy like him when using "The Stick"
Good luck to anyone racing this weekend! There arn't many races left in the '08 calendar year so make each race count. I am thinking about some running goals for 2009 and I'll share those with you soon.

The stick is THE BEST! I love it.
I got the Stick for my brother in law last year for Xmas (he runs ultras and does Ironmans) and he LOVED it. I think I need one for myself!
Love the stick! Another great idea!
I should get the stick for the portability. It's not like I can jump on the foam roller at work or in the car.
Good luck with the drama. This time of year seems to heighten that :(
Yeah, I think I need to get a stick...
I'm not sure what that is... but I don't think I like it.
I hope things start looking up soon :(
I still have no idea what the stick even does, but I should probably get once since everyone else has one.
i have never tried this!!!! i think i might need it for my calves tho they are ROCKS and knots. i am going to look into it, thanks Danica!
good luck getting things in order and running when/as much as you want to.
I'm hoping to get an 8 or 10er in this weekend. NOt sure if it will be Sat or Sun. Probaly tomorrow.
Good luck on your long run this weekend. The stick is on my wishlist too!
Danica - hope whatever you're dealing with works itself out. Keep up with the running though - it's a great stress reliever!
And it's well-documented that I swear by The Stick. Every runner should get one!
Not sure I could ever look THAT happy, maybe he fell asleep with a coathanger in his mouth?
But yes the stick is very good!
I really enjoy the stick. It is a great gift.
Funny story actually...
When I went to the almighty Mecca of running (a.k.a. "The Running Store") the dude was like "ya, the stick works"
I'm like "I'm getting this pain in my arse when I run, do you think it will work that out?"
His response? "You might want to get a bigger stick if you're using that on your butt"
I think that brotha called me fat.
Not quite sure.
But yep.
You'll love it.
I got the stick last year for christmas. It is nice, but I like hand massages by the husband better!
The stick is awesome on the calves.
How does everyone actually use the stick? I've seen it at a lot of expos and it looks sort of gimicky.
I LOVE the stick.
Combine the stick with trigger point and you will be in heaven!
Kick butt!
I finally bought the stick last week at the Miami Marathon after seeing them at tons of expos. I really like it! i just wish i had a full time stick person so i didn't have to do it!
