In It for the Long Run: How Jeremy Recovers Like a Pro
In It for the Long Run: How Jeremy Recovers Like a Pro
Marathoner. Finance director. Community leader.
For Jeremy Willner, running isn’t just a passion — it’s a commitment. At 47, he’s completed more than a dozen marathons and has three more lined up this fall. His goal? A personal record: sub 3:30.
But Jeremy knows that pushing limits isn’t just about training harder. It’s about recovering smarter.
Meet Jeremy
Jeremy lives in Brooklyn and is deeply rooted in the local running scene. He’s the co-president of the Crown Heights Running Club and also runs with the Bedford Stuy Flyers, TGIF Run Crew, and Kings County Fitness Club. He hits the pavement five to six times per week, juggling his intense training schedule with a demanding career in consumer electronics.
“I love the structure and rhythm of running,” he says. “But if I don’t recover right, it shows — especially in my hips and glutes.”
Why Recovery Matters More at This Level
At his age and performance level, Jeremy faces what many runners over 40 deal with: tightness, inflammation, and fatigue in the lower body. Especially in the hip and glute areas, which are key for efficient stride and posture. Ignoring those signals isn’t an option.
“I’ve used everything — foam rollers, Theraguns, massage. They help, but nothing really addressed the deep pressure and flush I needed in the hip region,” he explains.
That’s where Flowell comes in.
The Game-Changer: Compression That Actually Reaches the Hips
Jeremy was skeptical at first — a recovery tool that fits in your hand and doesn’t need tubes or external pumps? But one session changed his mind.
“The compression in the hip area was a game changer,” he says. “I felt the difference after one use. It flushed out the tension and gave me real relief — not just surface massage. And the setup? Two minutes and I’m on the couch.”
Flowell: Built for the Long Run
Jeremy now uses Flowell after every training session. Whether it’s a long run or speedwork, it’s his go-to tool for recovery. The ease of use, paired with the performance-grade compression, makes it a non-negotiable in his training routine.
“I don’t have time to mess with complicated gear. Flowell is powerful, effective, and it works — especially where it counts.”
Recovery Is the New Power
For runners like Jeremy — and anyone training with purpose — Flowell isn’t a luxury. It’s part of the plan. Because when your goal is to hit a PR, you need a recovery tool that works as hard as you do.
