What sport do you participate in?
Running/ Gym

What is your greatest sporting achievement?
In January I decided to start Parkrun. I finished the 5km first attempt and I haven’t looked back since. Very proud of myself.

When was the first time that you realised that your sport was becoming your passion?
I’ve always loved sport. When I was younger I played representative basketball, netball and tennis. Now I running in my passion. I love
Pushing myself as far as I can.

What is your favourite part of competing?
Right now, finishing what I set out to do is always my greatest achievement. Getting a PB is so satisfying but I’m just happy that I’m out there making a change and adding years to my life by not giving up.

What does a standard days training consist of?
Right now I’m training for the 10km course at Melbourne Marathon in October. Every month until then I will add a kilometre. I do 5kms 3-7 times a week, weight training at the gym and use my sons swimming lessons as my recovery.

What is the most important aspect of your training?
Listening to my body but pushing through what my mind tells me. I know I can always do more. So I just keep going. I’m improving my quality of life which has a positive ripple through my family, friends and everything else in between.

What does a standard post-event recovering consist of?
Lots of water to stay hydrated, ice/heat and fisiocrem. Being a larger person there’s not a walk or run that doesn’t end with pain currently. So it’s very important for me to look after those niggles. Amen fisiocrem!

What is your ultimate sporting goal?
The end game is to complete a full marathon. So my goals are to run a full 5km without stopping, complete 10km event, half marathon and full marathon. Watch this space!

Who is your sporting idol and why?
Growing up and still now it’s Michael Jordan. Yes, he was a very talented player but he never gave up. Winning or losing he played the game to the best of his ability until that game was over.
I also am obsessed with anyone out there attempting and completing marathons. I admire their strength to push through and achieve such a sensational accomplishment.

What advice would you give to someone that is interested in taking up your sport?
Don’t wait! If it’s what you want to do – start now. We spend too much time deferring dreams and goals. It’s better to try and keep trying instead of not trying at all.

What is the biggest challenge you face when competing?
As a larger athlete I deal with a lot of pain due to a heavy load (which is getting smaller thankfully). I just listen to my body and push to my limitations without giving up. As I know when I finish the sense of accomplishment far outweighs anything else.

What’s your favourite thing about fisiocrem (‘that it’s free’ is not the correct answer!)?
The relief it gives me! The fisiocrem community is so supportive and encouraging. I feel so blessed to be a part of it.

We love compliments so we’d love if you could provide us with a testimonial for use on our website, social media and ads.
When you’re cold you put on a sweater? When you’re in pain – put on fisiocrem! Trust me! Nothing really beats that sensation of your pain easing. Thank you fisiocrem.

fisiocrem takes five with…Rebecca

What sport do you participate in?

Running – Road and Trail / Triathlon / Open water swimming

What is your greatest sporting achievement?
Completing my first 100k ultra trail marathon in October 2016

When was the first time that you realised that your sport was becoming your passion?
I started running to raise money for Hummingbird House, a charity I have a personal connection. The love and passion just kept growing with every event I entered. I love inspiring people to get out there, give it a go and be the best version of themselves.

What is your favourite part of competing?
I love to challenge myself. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment when I complete an event, especially if it’s a milestone distance or PB time.

What does a standard days training consist of?
Standard is not something that I can relate to. I’m not good with routines and don’t like the feeling of having to stick to a regimented training program. While I know this works well for most people it doesn’t work for me. I like to mix up my training and have fun with it. Some days I will find a trail and hike all day, other days I’ll smash out a speed session. I don’t diet but try to choose healthy options as much as possible.

What is the most important aspect of your training?
Having fun. I don’t take it seriously because that would take the joy out of what I love doing. It’s great to also have amazing friends to train and with who have the same passion.

What does a standard post-event recovering consist of?
Refuel and re-hydrate. My body needs food to recover quickly. I also can’t go past a good long soak in the bath. It’s also important for me to stay active. The day after a big event I will always go for a walk or a swim to avoid my muscles tightening up.

What is your ultimate sporting goal?
To one day complete an Ironman event. The ultimate endurance event.

Who is your sporting idol and why?
I don’t have a sporting idol. I’m inspired by the people from all ages, genders and walks of life who turn up to events and push themselves to be their best.

What advice would you give to someone that is interested in taking up your sport?
Get out there and give it a shot. Find a friend to train with for your first event and most importantly have FUN. Smile and enjoy the moment.

What is the biggest challenge you face when competing?
Self doubt. Mind games that creep in and make me lose belief in myself. I have to be aware of this and snap out of it as soon as I have those feelings.

What’s your favourite thing about fisiocrem (‘that it’s free’ is not the correct answer!)?
The fast acting relief I get everytime I use it. The all natural ingredients are perfect for me being that I have sensitive skin I don’t have any irritation from Fisiocrem at all.

Fisiocrem is the best product I have ever used for the temporary relief of aches and pains. I recently competed in the Blackall 100k Ultra Trail Run and used Fisocrem before, during and after the event with fantastic results in both pain relief and recovery.
