Is this the ultimate gift for a runner? 😊

I just spotted this! What do you think?

[David_G Metric Marathon]

That’s a clever idea roseabi 👍 I wonder why no-one though of previously? 🤔 I wouldn’t want to put anything fizzy in it, the results could be very messy if you used it as a roller before opening it!😉

I was drinking water when I read your reply David_G! I nearly choked and I've had to wipe my phone dry 🤣🤣🤣

Hilaire Belloc’s Hippopotamus’s Birthday springs to mind 🙂

[Katnap Marathon]

👍😃👍 insulated and grippy!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Oh yes! You could keep your wine in it for an after-workout treat 😂

[Jericho2332 Half Marathon]

Take my money now ! 🤣👍🏻

[misswobble Marathon]

Oooooh something else we never knew we needed

😀

Just when I was considering having a cull

800ml makes it a big bottle with all that padding! I think not.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Dexy5]

More for quenching thirst while you roll out those muscles post run, I suppose!

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Dexy5]

My thoughts too!

[skysue16 Half Marathon]

Interesting idea! Not tried foam rolling........heard it is very good though.

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to skysue16]

My physio said there are two schools of thought in the use of rollers. He gave me the impression that he was not in favour. Never used one either.

[skysue16 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

🤔 tricky when even ‘experts’ disagree!!

[Couchpotato2 Marathon in reply to skysue16]

I do it (sometimes) and do feel it benefits me but I don’t do it all the time. Helps remind the muscles to relax

[HeavyFoot Half Marathon in reply to skysue16]

My physio said I could have saved the money and used a rolling pin. I’ve tried it and it works! Wash before making pastry, though.

[skysue16 Half Marathon in reply to HeavyFoot]

😂 good idea

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to HeavyFoot]

🤣🤣

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

I was shown how to foam roll by a physio at hospital but with strict provisos never to roll knee and never ever on inflamed tissue. Also only for a few minutes only

I have rarely used it since and only for rehabbing calf tweaks

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon]

Love it! 😍

[Frenc Half Marathon]

I like water and I like foam rolling! Very clever 😊😊😊.

[Couchpotato2 Marathon]

I think it’s more a post run wine cooler and roller. Dont fancy carrying that on the run

[UnfitNoMore Metric Marathon]

800ml... that could take a whole bottle of vodka! Which would help with the pain of the foam rolling. 🤣

Will be buying one.
