My DS 25 birthday is the day after his first marathon . I want to give him a little fun pamper bag for his birthday for him, things to help with aches and pains etc
Any ideas what i can put in it that will help him feel better on the day after the marathon

Chocolate or cake, and bath salts? Doesn't need to be any more complicated than that..

Epsom salts
Deep heat
Ibuprofen
Sweets
Money for a take away!

I didn't do a marathon but these helped me after Great North run!

I wouldn’t book a sports massage for the day after a marathon, it’s too soon for someone to be touching your legs in my experience!! Bath salts, beer and all the snacks are what he’ll probably need. I’d give it 2-3 days before having a massage.
Nice soft trackies or loungewear pants would be good too!
