To run further… and above all, to run better.
Running is simple, accessible, liberating.
But let's be honest: whether it's a morning 5k, an interval session or a long Sunday run, the body takes a beating.
The muscles heat up, the fibers tear micro-erect, the joints work…
and recovery then becomes the most important part of training .
Without it, performance stagnates, muscle soreness sets in, and the risk of injury increases.
With a good routine, on the contrary, the body recovers faster, gets stronger and becomes more resilient.
Here’s how to optimize the post-race phase — naturally and effectively — with good practices… and KHERÖS care to give you a boost.
1. Returning to calm: a step too often forgotten
As soon as you stop running, the body is still in "effort" mode:
elevated heart rate, muscle heat, accelerated circulation.
A return to calm for 3 to 5 minutes is enough to reduce tension.
In concrete terms:
• Walk for a few minutes,
• Let your breathing return to normal,
• Relax your shoulders, arms, and legs.
This small gesture perfectly prepares the ground for a deeper recovery.
2. The post-race shower: the reset effect
Showering is often seen as simply a moment of cleanliness…
while it can become a powerful recovery tool .
With KHERÖS' "Recuperatio" shower gel , you can transform this moment into a revitalizing ritual:
• Elimination of sweat, impurities and toxins,
• a feeling of freshness that stimulates circulation
• Immediate muscle relaxation.
Like a true reset after giving it your all.
3. Targeting sensitive areas
Every runner has their weaknesses:
Pulling calves, sore quadriceps, tense lower back, tired knees…
This is where the “Sanatio” spray becomes your best ally:
• quick application,
• intense freshness,
• immediate relief of overstressed areas.
Perfect right after a shower… or before an active day if your legs are still aching.
4. Deep hydration, to support the fibers
After exertion, muscles need rehydration and nutrients to repair themselves.
A light massage is one of the best ways to help circulation do its job.
The “Relaxio” cream is designed to:
• Nourish the skin and muscle tissues,
• maintain the effect of the spray,
• prolong relaxation,
• reduce the feeling of heaviness or stiffness.
A short step, but one that changes everything.
5. Drink, stretch… and listen to your body
There's no escaping the classics:
• Stay hydrated,
• Eat within two hours of finishing your run,
• Do some gentle stretches, without forcing anything.
And above all: listen carefully.
Recovery is not a luxury, it's a strategy.
Conclusion: Running better means recovering better
Running is one of the most demanding… and most rewarding sports.
But to continue progressing — and avoid injuries — recovery must be considered a sacred time.
With a simple routine and KHERÖS care products designed for athletes of all levels, you give your body what it deserves: softness, freshness… and the means to come back stronger tomorrow.
