IRONMAN is coming to Arizona, are you ready?
You have put in all the hours of training in the water, time in the saddle and on the road; read and studied nutrition, hydration, and injury prevention.
IRONMAN Arizona is less than 6 weeks away, and yet something might not be completely dialed in.
- You are stronger and more fit than you have ever been, but your legs just aren’t keeping up with you.
- You are doing everything right and yet you notice leg fatigue or heaviness in your legs.
- Maybe leg restlessness or leg cramping is keeping you from getting the right amount of sleep.
In spite of adequate hydration and nutritional support, symptoms of venous insufficiency may be keeping you from peak performance and adequate recovery.
Being an avid runner myself, I can relate to these issues. If you notice symptoms of fatigue, heaviness, leg swelling, cramping, restlessness of your legs, itching, burning, or skin pigmentation changes in the lower extremities, let the experts at Advanced Vein Institute evaluate your condition and help you achieve all of your fitness goals. Venous disease is not exclusive to those that are sedentary and/or overweight, regardless of your activity level or BMI, chronic venous disease can affect your activities of living and impair even the healthiest of people.
