CherryActive for Marathon Recovery

11 Apr 2010

This Sunday heralds this year’s Virgin London Marathon when 35,000 runners will face a gruelling 26.2 mile run through London’s streets. A recent study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Sports Sciences, conducted by Dr Glyn Howatson at Northumbria University, showed how marathon runners drinking Montmorency cherry juice before and after last year’s London marathon recovered significantly quicker than a control group drinking a placebo drink.

CherryActive’s sales and marketing manager, John Fisher, is running his ninth consecutive London marathon this weekend. What makes John’s achievement totally incredible is that he had a heart transplant nearly 10 years ago and only started running a few months after his operation!

John has raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity over the past ten years and we think he is a real hero!

Go, John, Go!
