Lactate testing day with @jeromevervaet 🥵
Being able to track the progress on a local climb with a good friend, fueled by caffeine and big goals does make it almost sound nice isn’t it? Luckily my coach put in a surprise. After a ‘classic’ 8’/+20W per block ramp test I got to do an all out 5’ fatigued test, which turned out to be an all time PB!
Big SO to @wattsupcoaching for the great couple of months already & Jerome for waiting for me on Els Angels today until I was finally ready destroying myself. To everyone who’s interested in knowing and tracking what they’re actually training, you know where to find this humble guy :)

An important race or event coming up?
Flush massages apply light pressure and rapid motion to prepare the legs to fire from all cylinders.
The goal is to:
~ Stimulate circulation
~ Clear any residual waste products
~ Improve performance
Either the day before or the day of a race/event would be the perfect moment for this type of massage.
.
Tired legs after a heavy training block or race?
Recovery massages use relatively slow and deep techniques to help speed up recovery.
The goal is to:
~ Clear metabolic waste products
~ Reduce muscular tension
~ Accelerate muscle repair
This type of massage is an excellent addition to sufficient rest, quality sleep and a healthy, well-balanced diet to achieve optimal recovery.
.
Experiencing pain or tightness in certain areas?
A deep tissue massage uses high pressure and stretching techniques to release tension in (and between) muscles and connective tissue.
The goal is to:
~ Relieve pain and discomfort
~ Prevent injury or speed up recovery
~ Increase performance
It is common to feel somewhat sore after a deep tissue massage. Therefore, it is ideally followed by a short (relative) rest period.

As a physiotherapist with a lifelong passion
for health and performance,
I will set up shop in Girona, Spain
from February 2025 onward.
I'm looking forward to diving head-first
into the marvelous world of endurance sports.
