This was so helpful during my hundred miler! My crew sprayed it on my legs during aid station stops, keeping transitions efficient and helping my legs feel a little less wrecked as the miles piled up.

It works fast when sore muscles and aches start to creep in, and the lightweight bottle is easy to toss in a running vest, drop bag, gym bag, or travel kit. Whether I'm logging long miles, recovering after a race, or spending a full day on my feet in clinic, it's one of the simplest recovery tools I carry. Powered by its sweat-resistant DuraCool® technology, it delivers quick relief without slowing me down.

PlayOn has become a huge part of both my running journey and my injury recovery. Almost two months ago, I fractured my elbow, and I wasn’t prescribed any medication just given recommendations for over the counter options that unfortunately didn’t provide much relief. During my recovery, PlayOn became something I consistently reached for. It helped relieve so much of the discomfort I was experiencing and made a noticeable difference during a frustrating time when I just wanted to heal and get back to doing what I love. Since then, I genuinely can’t stop talking about it! As a runner, coach, and someone who is constantly around other athletes, I’m always sharing my experience with PlayOn.

This product has literally come to my rescue during TWO different races! As a trail runner, my hips and hamstrings can take a beating, especially when the miles and elevation start adding up. During two separate races, they were absolutely screaming at me, and this was exactly what I reached for. I was able to use it right there during the race and keep moving toward the finish line. When you’re miles deep on the trail, you quickly learn what products actually earn a permanent spot in your race-day gear and this is officially one of mine. From training days to race day, it’s something I’ll make sure is packed in my vest from now on!
