Is the Marathon Stick- 20" a good running recovery tool?

Yes — Camille Herron recommends the Marathon Stick- 20" by The Original Stick as their running recovery tools pick. Back in October 2009, I had a calf cramp the day before the Twin Cities Marathon. My roommate happen to have The Stick. It worked a small miracle, and I went on to run my first sub 2:40 marathon! I ended up buying one. This is has been my most used and essential therapy tool during my running career. It's my best-kept-secret to preventing and treating lower leg, foot, and plantar fasciitis issues. This is the one thing I always travel with and bring to races.
