fisiocrem takes five with… Amanda

What sport do you participate in?
Trail Running

What is your greatest sporting achievement?
Finishing UTA50 in May 2017

When was the first time that you realised that your sport was becoming your passion?
When I started signing up to every event I could find!

What is your favourite part of competing?
Pushing myself, while meeting new people and seeing them give 100% too – with a smile on our faces. 🙂

What does a standard days training consist of?
During the week, usually a run around the local streets or along the Broadwater. On the weekends, a long run on the trails with friends.

What is the most important aspect of your training?
Consistency

What does a standard post-event recovering consist of?
Cold dip in the ocean or an ice bath, then a cider in the sun.

What is your ultimate sporting goal?
To keep improving and to see as many new places on foot as possible.

Who is your sporting idol and why?
Anna Frosty – from little NZ, like me. So much determination, and even with the battles she’s had to overcome, she has still managed to find joy in running.

What advice would you give to someone that is interested in taking up your sport?
Enter a local race, or find a running group and just get out there. Once you get started you won’t be able to stop!

What is the biggest challenge you face when competing?
Staying on top of my hydration. So often in an event I will get carried away in the atmosphere and forget to drink.

What’s your favourite thing about fisiocrem (‘that it’s free’ is not the correct answer!)?
That it contains arnica and other extracts. I have always loved arnica for muscle relief.

We love compliments so we’d love if you could provide us with a testimonial for use on our website, social media and ads.
fisiocrem is such a great product that you’d be silly not to use. Plus it smells so good!
