The SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon, are pleased to announce the launch of their first iPhone and Android mobile App which has been developed by exercise prescription software experts Salaso Health Solutions.
The new App has been created to provide runners of all abilities with a one-stop shop for all their running and marathon needs ahead of the big day on October 27th.
The App includes top tips for runners, race day information, post-race advice, feeds from the marathon’s social media channels, route maps and an extensive area on injury prevention and the best methods to manage injuries should runners pick one up during their training.
Speaking at the launch of the App, SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon Race Director Jim Aughney said;
“The new App will be great for runners who are training for the race in October, as it really does have everything they will need in the lead up to the event. It is also a great App for athletes in all sports as it has a section dedicated to injury prevention and rehabilitation which will be of benefit to all sports men and women.”
The new App demonstrates that the organisers of the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon are committed to helping runners in as many ways as possible to train well and cross the finish line on October 27th.
Emlyn Maher, of Salaso Health Solutions, a keen runner himself who will be running this year in his fourth SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon, said: “This App is a result of an exciting new partnership between Salaso and Dublin Marathon to provide exercise content and advice for athletes to prevent and alleviate injuries and to assist with best tips to start healthy and finish strong. We have taken the top 10 Marathon injuries and provided athletes with HD video exercises to follow. Salaso is also an official partner of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists and recommends anyone with a persistent running injury should visit their local Chartered Physiotherapist for treatment and advice”.
