Globe trotting Anna Pichrtova has recently been spending time in Clitheroe as a guest of Denise Park.
The Czech Olympian injured her ankle in Nigeria during early November and subsequent treatment at her base at Richmond, Virginia failed to clear it.
When she developed a compensating problem in the other leg, she returned to East Lancs for treatment with Chartered Physio Denise.
While Pichrtova was there Park helped her to re-style her running action and after just three weeks she had managed 19 hours of running in a single week.
As part of her rehabilitation, Anna was offered the use of the Maree Leisure Centre at the Stirk House Hotel in Gisburn.
Manager Kevin Maree is a keen runner and is extending his offer of assistance to Denise's other clients.
