The Ironman Lanzarote
Triathlon course
My name is Alan Sutcliffe and I would like to personally recommend the InterX device as a superb way to treat pain relief.
Three years ago and at the age of 36 I discovered the great sport of Triathlon after spending many years as a typical over eating / over drinking couch potato. As many Triathlete’s do I quickly succumbed to the pipe dream of completing the mecca of this sport by having a go at completing a full distance Ironman. Before I knew it I had signed up for Ironman Lanzarote, regarded as the toughest of all the Ironman courses in the world and training began…The full distance consists of a 3.8 kilometer swim, a 180 kilometer bike ride with over 9000 feet of climb then a full road marathon. The cut off time for the whole event is 17 hours. Training for this event requires from 10 to 20 hours a week and at 36 years old, my body was not used to anything more than a couple of jogs and a game of squash a week!
I quickly picked up injuries. Constant hip pain and lower back pain from cycling, constant calf tears from the running and constant shoulder injury and neck pain from the swimming. I was spending 60 pounds a week on physiotherapy and eating anti-inflammatories like sweets. My brother-in-law introduced me to the InterX device having swore by it to help him with his fell running exploits and so I decided to give it a try.
I was quite amazed how effective this device is. One or two ten minute sessions on the affected areas and I was ready to do the next session. I would previously be soaking in the bath and in bed early trying to rest before the next workout but this device allowed me to numb the pain quickly, promote blood flow to the injured areas and get me back on my feet again! I do not confess to understanding how this device works but IT DOES WORK!
After 12 months I added up my training diary and was amazed to discover I had swam 158 miles, biked 2460 miles and run 690 miles! The training was over and the day of the race was savored and enjoyed as one of the proudest days of my life. I crossed the finish line in 15 hours and will take that moment to my grave!!! As soon as I woke the next morning the first thing I did was grab the InterX and treated both thighs and both calves for ten minutes each. I walked around the next day and was amazed at how beaten up other athletes were. I am convinced that the InterX device got me out of bed and on my feet!!!
I cannot recommend this device enough for anyone serious about endurance sports!
