"As my season slowly winds down I am grateful to have benefitted from the services of Anthony Manniello and EndurancePR. This year I set and met goals of completing four half-ironman distance triathlons and to qualify for the Ford Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida. After coming off of knee surgery the previous year I was determined to train and compete in some of the most difficult races in triathlon including Ironman California 70.3, Ironman Baja 70.3, and Vineman 70.3.  Anthony allowed me to compete to my fullest by providing me with sports massages leading up to and after races. In addition, the Phoenix Formulas for Repair and Regeneration allowed me to heal and recover faster. This was necessary as I was faced with dealing with three unusual injuries during the year. As I begin to recover from the yearlong effort, I will be looking forward to another successful year as I prepare to complete my second Ironman Distance Triathlon in Austria next July. Without a doubt, I will be looking to Anthony to help me compete at my best by continuing to see him for sports massages, healing herbs, and useful training advice."

....After completing my first 1/2 ironman distance and feeling sluggish and sore, I decided to treat myself to a massage. A friend referred me to Anthony Manniello at MannielloSports.com, which then began my road to a higher level of training and recovery, than ever before. He introduced me to his chinese herbal solutions of Phoenix Formulas ,which aided in sleep and restoration of sore muscles, restoring the balance from accumulation of training and fatigue. He also added Dragon Cold Performance , an exercise and race formula, which improves ones immune system, acts as an anti-spasm aide and anti-inflammatory aide for endurance athletes.

I began to notice a different level of energy, as well as the ability to recover from long runs and rides. When the cold weather hit, or my allergies would flare-up, I would switch from the Dragon Heat Performance herbs to the Cold formula. This formula helped my lungs and improved my breathing.  If my racing or training was in the summer months, I would use the Dragon Heat Perfromance herbs.

My ability to push myself to higher levels of fitness, longer durations of training, with less fatigue, and more  enthusiasm, due to lack of stiffness, was the beginning of many rewarding days out on the road or trails. The difference in being able to train and recover actively with the herbal supplements, and the regular supplementation of a massage, has made me set my goals even higher.

I look forward to my plans to do my first ironman in 2008.
