Thinking of smashing out a huge run this week? Before you do, know this: the latest research shows that when a single run jumps more than 10% above your longest run in the past 30 days, the chance of overuse injury climbs significantly (Frandsen et al., 2025). 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Instead, aim for steady, gradual increases in your sessions and build endurance with intention. Movement matters, consistency pays off, and smart progress is the name of the game. 🔥

Pelvic girdle discomfort during pregnancy doesn’t have to slow you down. With the right strategies, you can stay strong and supported. 🌼 Try pelvic tilts to gently mobilise the lower back, thoracic stretches to open up the upper body, and isometric hip abductions to activate deep stabilisers.

Wearing a support belt can add gentle compression, while targeted glute trigger point release helps with tension relief. These small tools can support mobility and strength throughout your journey. 🌸🩵🦵🏼💪🏽💤

Summer’s almost here, and for swimmers, that means more laps, more waves, and more reason to prepare your body 🏖️🏊‍♀️. A strong upper back and mobile spine are essential for efficient strokes and shoulder control 💪.

Try incorporating rear delt flys, Cuban presses, thoracic extensions, and Y’s into your dryland routine 🏋️‍♂️. These movements target posture, shoulder stability, and mid-back mobility — all key for swimming strong through the warmer months 🌊🔥. Your summer swim starts with solid movement on land!
