Enter Myovolt
Myovolt, the leading technology provider in wearable recovery has teamed up with Mike Philips, New Zealand based Ironman to support his bid for the world Ironman champs in 2020.
Mike Philips, who is coming back from injury which hampered his racing last year, is now hot on the heels of the podium leaders thanks to Myovolt helping him manage muscle recovery so he can train harder, recover faster and push himself further as a professional athlete.
The professional Ironman race circuit is one of the most grueling challenges for any athlete’s body but with support from Myovolt to keep soreness and stiffness at bay, Mike can keep on track with his training and perform at the peak of his ability every time.
Myovolt founder, Dr Dianne Jones says “It’s fantastic to be working with a world-class athlete like Mike in a sport where muscle recovery is crucial for the marginal gains required to win at the top level.

The focus of Myovolt is on the importance of recovery as part of a daily exercise routine and be used by anyone, not just elite athletes.
