Athlete stories: training consistency

In conversation with Lars van Uum, cyclist and Marketing Manager at Trek Benelux. Lars shares how focusing on recovery helped reduce muscle soreness, support his immune health during demanding training blocks, and stay consistent through weeks of cycling and strength training.

“I started using Unbroken at the end of last year for both cycling and strength training. Normally I would have a lot of pain in my legs and sore muscles after strength sessions, but when I took two tablets after training, the muscle soreness was almost gone. It was the first time in years that I didn’t feel sore the next day.

What I also really noticed was the health benefit. I usually get sick quite often, especially with heavy training and travel, but since using Unbroken I haven’t been ill. Even during a period in Spain with a lot of travelling and around 20 hours of training per week, I stayed healthy and felt fitter from one session to the next.

For me, Unbroken has made it easier to train consistently, week after week, without interruptions from soreness or getting sick.”
