I started using Zum Muscle Rub last year. I do alot of running and was looking for an alternative to the offensive scent of many rubs/ointments. cue Zum....very little odour and it does work ! I use it mostly pre running to loosen up the legs if they were stiff but after a hard session i have found recently that its great as part of your recovery. I will continue to use it as nothing else i have tried works as well
As someone who runs several marathons a year (five this year so far, including two ultra marathons), muscle pain was just something I had become accustomed to. Zum muscle rub was recommended by a fellow runner and being a typical runner, I'll try anything that promises to help recovery!
It really helps. I now use it after tough sessions and find it fantastic for my calf muscles, shins, quads and hamstrings and it gets me back up and running sooner, with significantly less stiffness in the muscles. Unlike other products I have used it has a subtle but very pleasant menthol odour, so you don't smell like the local GAA changing rooms!
