Why run a marathon? – how did it all started for Fulham Massage & Wellness Managing Director, Agata
The idea of running a marathon was at the back of my head for a long time. I used to think that running 26miles was just for crazy people but over time and hearing inspiring stories from my clients - the seed got planted. I was admiring those who managed to cross the finish line because it was always a symbol – of determination, strong will power and persuasion. And an enormous sense of achievement! I began to want it! This desire, although noticeable, wasn’t enough to take any actions for years. Eventually I signed up for a London marathon 2015 with a high hope that I won’t get a place. And I didn’t! I remember telling myself it was a universe’s way of saying “it’s not for you”. Relieved I don’t have to commit to a long training, I quickly realised I also felt a pinch of disappointment which I couldn’t understand.
The Hot Spot Yoga Studio is one of our favourite places in Fulham and Parsons Green - especially in winter. It’s a great place to practice Bikram Yoga and take your mind off any daily troubles. We strongly believe that massage and yoga complement each other. In order to create this awareness, we are visiting The Hot Spot Yoga Studio on Monday 23rd October to offer free 15 minute Chair Massage tasters to all yogis. So why not meet us there? Sign up for our sessions or yoga classes at the studio on the day. We will also be able to answer all your questions in relation to pains, aches and musculoskeletal conditions.
little surprise that this way of working has had a major impact on humans and our physical state. Whilst our early ancestors lived an unpredictable life as hunter gatherers, over the millennium people gradually settled into a more predictable manual labour routine through agriculture and then industry. No matter what the era, people lived movement based lives like our bodies were designed for – however, the conditions and workloads often had a more detrimental effect than benefit. Since the late twentieth century most jobs have migrated to the more sedentary office routine, especially in London and Fulham where many people now experience repetitive strain and office caused pains.
Running is one of the most common sporting activities around Fulham and Parsons Green. What not to like?
