Just thought I share this news with you guys. So you'd know that I've been working really hard for the upcoming City To Surf 12km run; this will be the longest I've ever run in my life (my longest was 9km and that was in 1999!).
I've been running as much as I can, throwing in the occasional Crossfit WOD for variety. I've been faithfully TPing before and after each of those sessions and MAN what a difference it makes.
So, if this actually helps, here's the real figures of improvement, based on my run timing and milage:
Before Trigger Point
22nd June - 6km - 46mins - Avg pace 7'41"
After Trigger Point
8th July - 6.22km - 44:39 - Avg pace 7'10"
27th July - 7.03km - 45:43 - Avg pace 6'30"
4th Aug - 7.42km - 47:11 - Avg pace 6'21"
It's amazing! Feel free to share this with any of the skeptics out there!
So this weekend will mark my first ever Fathers day as a Dad! Actually I’m really looking forward to Dad’s day this weekend as it will be a family occasion with three dads. Then one of my long time subcribers and TP enthusist asked if I was running any specials. I wasn’t but I thought… well my first dads day is a pretty good reason to offer a little something. Sinces Fathers day is this Sunday- we would LOVE to try and get the product there to you before the weekend. Now we’re at the whim of the shipping companies… but all orders between now and Thursday will go out express post to give best chances of arriving.

Kelly Starret Mobility WOD on Lats
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
Hey guys and gals
If you’re a Crossfitter and are not following Kelly Starretts Mobility WOD, you should be. Lots of good stuff in his posts that can make your er more mobile.
In Kelly’s post below he is using our GRID revolutionary foam roller to work his lats but you can also see him use our baller block (unfortunately not the TP Massage Ball which would make it a little more effective.. just saying and a ball up against a wall to work through his lats.
This mobility exercises are great for helping your overhead lifts. When you couple it with some of the shoulder work I showed in saving your shoulders video one and video two you’ll be amazed at the difference.
If you want to learn some more of the mobility, ReGen / PreGen techniques then sign up for one of Body Maintenance Clinics. They are only $30 and you get a 2 hour hands on session learning how to use the tools, and things you may be doing posture and hydration wise that could be curtailing your performance.

Hi Kristian,
Couldn’t get the message to work from the web page so I thought I’d email you direct with my comments.
Just want to say thanks so much for your continued product support, i.e. latest ITB blurb – we (hubby too) love all our TP tools – and DVD’s – it’s amazing how the body works. I’ve worked out a pain in the arch of my foot is related to the calf and anterior tibialis, soleus, patella tendon – wow – I work them and the pain goes away and I can run again. THANKS SO MUCH – injury or age will not weary me anymore (just turned 48 – fittest I’ve ever been)!
