Warm up
Calves, hamstrings and hip flexors before you start — especially on interval days, and especially on the side that always tightens first.
Make it a regular habit before every session.
For running clubs
For the legs that feel like cement after intervals.
Three to five runs a week, one of them hard. Whether you run Happy Valley loops or the harbourfront, the routine that keeps you consistent is the one that takes two minutes and does not smell.
Warm up.Wind down.
VITAS provides a warming sensation when massaged into muscles before training, and a cooling sensation afterwards. These sensory experiences are part of your active warm-up and wind-down routine.
Cool down
After the cool-down jog: long upward strokes on the calves and quads while your heart rate settles. It travels well in a running belt or a club bag.
Other sports
Built into the session, not the medicine cabinet
The routine changes with the sport. Hyrox, padel, run club — three examples of how people actually train in Hong Kong. Your sport? Same ritual.
