A huge congratulations to Andrew who just ticked off his 500th Newy parkrun! 🏃‍♂️

After clocking up 499 runs, a knee injury slowed things down briefly. But with some dedicated rehab, Andrew was ready to lace up again and smashed number 500 🎯

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. 🌸🩵🦵🏼💪🏽💤
