Sports massage

In my last few years I have learned the importance of sports massage.  The training pushes my body hard so every month I need a sports massage. Now before you start to think I am going soft and getting pampered, a sports massage is painful. 45 mins to an hour of being "tenderised" like a piece of steak.  But without it my legs would seize up with the training as would my hips, my back - you get the message!
So I'm sure to get a great sleep tonight which I need following a hard day. My HRV monitor was amber today and I am hoping tomorrow I won't get a red light. I need to put in some big miles over the weekend and I need to be ready for it. If your training hard then make sure you get a regular sports massage - your body deserves it!
