This is one of my favorite go-to’s after a hard day. It makes my body feel amazing. Not only does it give that relief but it smells soooo good.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
January 09, 2020

Prāz Naturals, a skincare company that focuses on fresh all-natural ingredients and clean, easy-to-use products, today announced the launch of their Muscle Conditioner Soak. Packed with anti-inflammatories and antioxidants, this unique combination of ingredients results in a natural muscle relaxer for the achy muscles or stressed out limbs of anyone wanting a home-spa-day or to replenish and renew a tired, overstretched, or overworked body.

January sees gyms packed with renewed resolutions and determination usually resulting in achy muscles not used to being pushed to their limits. In addition to fitness, the other 11 months of the year finds the average person juggling commitments, managing stress, perhaps recovering from an illness, or just yearning for a respite from the daily grind.

Enter Prāz Naturals skincare with an all-natural solution for muscle recovery with the active ingredient of Arnica Oil as well as Dead Sea Salt. The soak works to revive sore muscles, exfoliate skin, control oil production, and cleanse the skin barrier all while offering a luxurious breather. For centuries salt baths have been known for their therapeutic and healing properties as well as their ability to ease stress and boost overall health.

The key ingredient Arnica Oil has its roots as far back as the early 16th century as a popular German folk remedy. It was used to treat bruising, blunt injuries, inflammation, and skin lesions. Known also as Wolf’s Bane or Mountain Tobacco, it is a botanical from the sunflower family found in East Asia, Europe, the northern United States, and Canada. Arnica is full of antimicrobials and anti-inflammatories beneficial in killing bacteria, skin disorders and pain.

In addition to Arnica, the soak uses Dead Sea Salt, a mineral rich in magnesium, potassium, calcium and more than 20 other elements. The therapeutic pure salt was used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans to cleanse, repair and renew while hydrating, soothing and repairing skin and body. Prāz Naturals develop all their products using research and scientific theory.

A recent study from the University of Cagliari in Italy found that spa therapy was confirmed as beneficial for chronic back pain and proved to induce changes in proteins involved in functions such as gene expression modulation, differentiation, angiogenesis, tissue repair, acute and chronic inflammatory response.

“My father suffers from back and shoulder pain ever since he had a bad horseback riding accident. Seeing him on so many different pain meds and still complaining of pain, he tried soaking but never found a natural soak that was more than just salt in a bag.” Said Sasha Nialla, Founder, Prāz Naturals, “After years of testing, I formulated the Muscle Conditioner Soak to relieve pain, body aches, soothe skin and relax the mind. My father soaks for a minimum of 20 minutes 4 nights a week and spa bathing has been proven to relieve chronic back pain.”

Other ingredients include Echinacea Root Powder, an antimicrobial and anti-dandruff remedy used in fighting acne, diminishing the sensation of pain and combating the effects of harsh conditions, as well as Magnesium Flakes a deep-cleansing mineral proven to improve hydration, speed up wound healing, enhance skin barrier, improve circulation and decrease inflammation. The combination demonstrates Prāz Naturals’ commitment to developing products that are proven to work while staying true to their ethos of using organic solutions to boost and nourish with natural, high quality botanicals free of toxins.

Shane Kline is an American track cyclist and Olympic hopeful seeking to compete at the highest level and represent the United States at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. His job is to push his body to its limits. “This is one of my favorite go-to’s after a hard day,” says Kline, “It makes my body feel amazing. Not only does it give that relief but it smells soooo good.”

As with all Prāz Naturals skin care products, the new Muscle Conditioner Soak is formulated with 100% USDA certified organic ingredients. It’s a novel way to recover after a workout or just a long day. So while the gym crowd might thin out after January, Prāz Naturals’ Muscle Conditioner Soak ensures a reprieve for aching muscles and naturally-achieved renewed vigor all year round.

Prāz Naturals offers a skincare routine worth celebrating and only gets better as they continue to explore and discover powerful plant-based ingredients. With a foundation built on appreciation, wellness and a commitment to the environment – Praz ensures responsible business practices and manufactures every product by hand. The ultimate goal is to source and share their products in a way that honors humans, animals, and the planet.

The longer the distance the shorter the gender pace gap. In 5Ks men run 17.9% faster than women, but above 195 miles, women are actually 0.6% faster than men.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (PRWEB)
January 09, 2020

In the largest study ever completed on the sport of ultra running, RunRepeat.com with the help of the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) has analyzed 5,010,730 results from 15,451 ultra running events over the last 23 years.

They’ve discovered among many things, that as distances extend, women quickly close the pace gap between genders and at extreme distances women in fact are faster than their male counterparts.

The findings detailed in The State of Ultra Running 2020, give a unique view into a sport that’s been seeing constant growth for the past 20 years.

Unlike the decline in participation seen in shorter distance races (under 26.2), ultra marathons continue to see increased participation year after year, suggesting that as we crest into a new decade runners are seeking out more ambitious endeavors.

Below are some of the key findings of the study:

• 
  Female ultra runners are faster than male ultra runners at distances over 195 miles. The longer the distance the shorter the gender pace gap. In 5Ks men run 17.9% faster than women, at marathon distance the difference is just 11.1%, 100-mile races see the difference shrink to just .25%, and above 195 miles, women are actually 0.6% faster than men.
• Participation has increased by 1676% in the last 23 years from 34,401 to 611,098 yearly participations and 345% in the last 10 years from 137,234 to 611,098. There have never been more ultra runners.
• More ultra runners are competing in multiple events per year. In 1996, only 14% of runners participated in multiple races a year, now 41% of participants run more than one event per year. There is also a significant increase in the % of people who run 2 races a year, 17.2% (from 7.7% to 24.9%) and 3 races, 6.7% (from 2.8% to 9.5%).
• There have never been more women in ultrarunning. 23% of participants are female, compared to just 14% 23 years ago.
• Ultra runners have never been slower across distance, gender and age group. The average pace in 1996 was 11:35 min/mile, currently, it is 13:16 min/mile. The average runner has added 1:41 min/mile to their average pace, which is a slowdown of 15% since 1996. We don’t believe that individual runners have become slower, but that these distances are attracting less prepared runners now because the sport is more mainstream.
• The fastest ultra running nations are South Africa (average pace 10:36 min/mile), Sweden (11:56 min/mile), and Germany (12:01 min/mile).
• A record amount of people travel abroad for ultra running events. 10.3% of people travel abroad to run an ultra, for 5Ks this percentage is just 0.2%.
• Runners in the longer distances have a better pace than the runners in the shorter distances for each age group. All age groups have a similar pace, around 14:40 min/mile. Which is unusual compared to the past and to other distances.
• The average age of ultra runners has decreased by 1 year in the last 10 years. It has changed from 43.3 years to 42.3 years.

There are numerous other findings detailed in this extensive look at ultra running, but as thrill seekers continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, this sport is poised to capture the hearts, minds, and dollars of millions.
