About this Event
The Recovery ReCharge

Join fellow runners for targeted sports recovery training at Balboa Park!

Come experience a different approach to sports recovery with Mike Cohen, Licensed Acupuncturist and fellow marathon runner (14 marathons completed). This isn't your typical group fitness class - it's specialized training designed specifically for runners who want to enhance performance, recover faster, and prevent injuries.


This Week's Focus: Shin Splints

Learn why shin splints happen and what you can actually do to prevent them. We'll explore the real root causes (hint: it's usually not your shins) and practice targeted techniques to address the patterns that create this frustrating injury.


What to Expect:

Experience an "aha moment" as we reveal the surprising connection behind shin splint pain

πŸ’ͺ Three Progressive Training Stations:

  • Station 1: Release - Targeted techniques to calm overworked muscles
  • Station 2: Activate - Wake up the muscles that have gone to sleep
  • Station 3: Integrate - Put it all together for better running mechanics

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Recovery Movement - Easy walk, jog, or run between stations (your choice!) or individual pattern discussions


Your Instructor:

Mike Cohen brings a unique perspective as both a licensed acupuncturist specializing in sports medicine AND a fellow runner who's completed 14 marathons. He understands your training goals because he shares them. (Don't worry - no needles at this event! Just hands-on movement education.)


What You'll Learn:
  • Why most shin splint treatments fail (and what actually works)
  • Simple techniques you can use at home for sports recovery
  • How to identify your individual movement patterns
  • The connection between different body parts and running injuries

Bring:
  • Yoga mat or towel
  • Water bottle
  • Comfortable athletic clothes
  • Open mind about your body's patterns

Perfect for: Runners of all levels who want to train smarter, recover better, and stay injury-free. Whether you're currently dealing with shin splints or want to prevent them, you'll leave with practical tools you can use immediately.
