DO YOU HAVE SORE FEET? (and we don’t just mean after participating in The Bogtrotters Marathon!)

As we know problems with feet can have a knock on effect on ankles, knees, hips, back, neck and shoulders as well as interefering with your training. 

Step Forward Ireland are offering foot & gait analysis on 24th July at the Bogtrotters Marathon. 

This is free but donations to Bothar recommended. 

An impression of the person’s feet is taken - this is a weight-bearing Pedograph which shows where the weight distribution falls and where the imbalances are; this is followed by a visual gait analysis.

 People then try on the ‘Soft Touch’ Orthotics insoles. These are flexible insoles designed to support the feet and correct imbalances.  They are available for purchase on the day or at a later stage. A Satellite Clinic takes place in Roscommon town one day a month.

Jelly Babies emerged as the favourite snack of runners at a water station, in a recent survey by The Bogtrotters Marathon on Facebook. www.facebook.com/TheBogtrottersMarathon

Social media is allowing the race organizers keep in touch with the preferences of their participants but the variety of opinions can be bewildering! T-shirts or medals, cotton or high-tech, mile markers or kilometre markers, coffee or stretching to warm up etc etc.
