The Runner’s Recovery Secret No One Talks About
You get up early, before the house wakes. Or maybe you wait until after bedtime, lacing up in the dark because it’s the only sliver of time that belongs to you. You run because it makes you feel strong. Because it clears your head. Because it’s the one thing that’s yours in a life that belongs to everyone else.
But let’s be honest.
Running also wrecks you.
Your calves ache when you climb the stairs. You do that stiff-legged shuffle after a long run. Your kids laugh when you groan sitting down. And maybe—just maybe—you’ve found yourself saying:
"I’m too old for this."
No, you’re not. But your recovery routine might be.
What No One Tells You About Recovery
You take the time to run. You fuel your body. You stretch (sometimes). But how much time do you actually spend helping your muscles recover?
Because here’s the truth: A great run starts with how you end the last one.
Your muscles aren’t just sore—they’re inflamed. Your body is flooded with stress hormones. If you don’t actively recover, you’re running on fumes, setting yourself up for burnout, injury, and that dreaded moment when your body says, "Nope, not today."
And this is where I need to talk to you about what’s in your bath.
The Problem With Your Go-To Recovery Soak
I know you use Epsom salts. (Of course, you do.) They’re a runner’s best friend. But have you looked at what’s actually in them?
Dr. Teal’s—yeah, that big brand in every store? Their Epsom salts aren’t as natural as you think. They’re full of synthetic fragrances—the kind linked to endocrine disruption, hormone imbalances, and long-term health effects.
Which means while you’re soaking to recover, your body is absorbing hormone-disrupting chemicals through your skin.
And I know what you’re thinking:
"But I’ve been using them for years—what’s the big deal?"
The big deal is that you deserve better.
You put so much effort into taking care of yourself, eating the right foods, prioritizing your health… why are you soaking your muscles in something that works against everything you stand for?
The Switch That Changes Everything
When I created Mom Bomb Natural Epsom Salts, I wasn’t just thinking about a better bath—I was thinking about you.
I was thinking about:
✔ Moms who run hard but also need to recover harder
✔ Women who don’t have time to be exhausted, injured, or burned out
✔ People who care about what goes in and on their bodies
Our salts are 100% pure—no fake fragrances, no hormone-disrupting junk, just magnesium sulfate in its most natural form. The way it should be.
Because your recovery matters. Your energy matters. You matter.
But Let’s Talk About Your Kids for a Second
You know who your biggest critics are? Your kids.
They notice everything. The way you run. The way you limp around after a long run. The way you say, "Ugh, I need to soak"before collapsing into the bathtub.
What if you asked them what they think about your running?
I bet they’d say:
They see the struggle. They see the sacrifice.
But what if they also saw you taking care of yourself the right way?
What if, instead of watching you wince in pain, they watched you recover stronger?
Your Future Self Will Thank You
Think about the strongest, happiest version of you. The one who’s still running years from now. The one who doesn’t feel too old for this.
That version of you? She’s the one who prioritized recovery.
So, let me ask you:
What’s stopping you from treating your body like it deserves?
Is it habit? Is it not knowing where to start? Or is it because no one ever told you that the recovery salts you’ve been using aren’t actually good for you?
If you’re ready to run stronger, longer, and healthier—this is your sign.
Ditch the toxins. Switch to Mom Bomb Natural Epsom Salts.
And the next time your kid watches you come back from a run, maybe they’ll say:
"Mom, you don’t even walk funny anymore!"
And wouldn’t that feel good?

How Runners Can Recover Faster: The Power of Epsom Salts
Running is an excellent cardiovascular exercise, but it also places significant strain on the muscles, leading to post-run soreness, inflammation, and fatigue. Proper recovery is essential to maintain performance, prevent injury, and support long-term endurance. One of the best natural recovery solutions is Epsom salt baths, which have been used for centuries to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation. But not all Epsom salts are created equal.
When you run, your muscles experience micro-tears, particularly in the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. This process, known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), peaks 24-48 hours post-exercise. The key to effective recovery is reducing inflammation and replenishing magnesium levels, which can be done with Epsom salt baths.
✔️ Replenishes Magnesium Levels: Magnesium sulfate, the key component in Epsom salt, helps regulate muscle contractions and reduce cramps.
✔️ Reduces Inflammation & Soreness: A warm Epsom salt bath can help flush out lactic acid and improve circulation, reducing swelling and stiffness.
✔️ Promotes Relaxation & Faster Recovery: Warm water enhances absorption, allowing muscles to relax deeply while reducing tension.
Unlike most commercial Epsom salts that contain artificial fragrances and hormone-disrupting chemicals, Mom Bomb’s soak is 100% natural, ensuring a safe, chemical-free recovery experience.
