🎄ASM 2025 XMAS UPDATE🎄

As we head into the holidays I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you all as always for your custom and support during 2025, thank you!

ASM 2026 Updates/ Changes📝
As some of you may already be aware there are going to be some changes ahead for 2026 as I’ve recently agreed to take on a temporary lecturing post which will be in place until summer 26. My plan at this time is to continue the ASM business on the equivalent of 2 days a week, meaning far fewer appointments and less consistency in availability each week.

What does this mean for appointments❓
- At this time there will be no new client appointments available,
- There are likely to be no or very limited numbers of ad hoc appointments available,
- Priority will be to ensure those existing clients on regular weekly, fortnightly, monthly cycles etc are booked in. However, there is likely to be changes in the days that are available,
- Continue to provide support for those existing clients who have spring events already pre booked.

I know this is going to be a huge change and challenge for me in the first instance, however over the last 6-12 months I have felt like it’s a challenge and change that is needed. I will continue as always to support all clients that come to ASM the very best I can and thank you in advance for your patience as I navigate a change in working patterns.

Thank you 🫶🏼
Anthony

Many people often think of soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, muscles) and joints (where two bones meet) to be two separate parts of the body, however in basic terms our joints are supported by soft tissue and it’s this connection between the two that gives us are structure and allows us to move effectively. To help us understand the link between joints, soft tissue and effective movement we need to know the difference between two commonly used terms stability and mobility 🤔

Joint Stability - is defined as the ability to maintain or control joint movement. Joint stability is achieved by the coordinating actions of surrounding tissues (ligaments, tendons, muscles) and the neuromuscular system.

Joint Mobility - is defined as the degree to which a joint can move before being restricted by the surrounding tissues; ligaments/tendons/muscles etc.

Regardless of whether you are an active or inactive person allowing the body’s joints to move into greater ranges of motion will enable you to begin to make strength gains in the surrounding joint tissue (ligaments, tendons, muscles). As we have discussed above this surrounding tissue plays a role in both controlling (stability) and moving (mobility) joints. With this in mind healthy joints and effective movement requires a combination of stability and mobility and as a general rule these can be improved and targeted using the following types of exercises:
-Stability - a range of balance, co-ordination and strengthening exercises.
-Mobility - a range of stretching (static, dynamic, PNF) and joint mobilisation exercises.

So next time your performing an exercise think about what are you wanting to achieve in the body, stability, mobility or both 🤔

💥Half & Full Marathon Prep💥

With the spring half and full marathons just getting underway here are a few basic ASM tips to consider as you head towards your big event……

Tapering:
-This should begin at approx 3 weeks/ 21 days before your event date
-Tapering can often be the scariest part of marathon training as many people worry that less distance, time and pace will leave them with a “loss of fitness”. In reality its quite the opposite the reduced training and increased rest/ recovery during this phase aids your body to reach peak performance on event day.

“A 2003 review of 50 studies on tapering published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise shows that levels of muscle glycogen, enzymes, antioxidants, and hormones—all depleted by high mileage—return to optimal ranges during a taper. Tapering also repairs muscle damage that occurs during sustained training. If that isn’t enough, immune function and muscle strength improve as well, which reduces the odds you’ll catch a cold or get injured just before the race. The subjects who tapered in these studies improved performance by 3 percent on average. That works out to five to 10 minutes in a marathon”.

Final Week Prep:
- Long runs ❌ - No No No!
Your hard training is now done and dusted and there are no speed or endurance gains to be made this week!
- Short runs ✅ - Yes!
Keeping your runs around the two mile mark in the next few days will help to keep the legs turning over, but more importantly help you to manage the excitement and anticipation of such big events.
- Carbohydrate Loading 🍝
Approximately 3 days before the race you should be around 75% - 95% of your calorie intake coming from carbohydrates. Remember pasta can make many people feel bloated, tired and heavy, so alternatives such as bananas, oranges, white rice, grapes, vegetables including potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes and whole grains also provide a high level of carbohydrate.
- Hydration🧊
From 24 to 48 hours pre event keeping the hydration levels in the body high is key to performance. This can be done by monitoring your urine, which apart from your first wee of the day should be a pale straw colour when hydrated.

Good luck everyone and most of all enjoy it, it’s meant to be fun 😃🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️
