🇮🇹 This time last week I ran the Rome marathon 🇮🇹

It was one of my toughest challenges, but I got to run it with friends and family there to support me, and in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Most importantly, I ran it to raise money for Pascal and Mary 💕 from my family's community in Kenya 🇰🇪. If I reach my target of £855 I will be able to put them both through private boarding school in Kenya for a whole year, including their uniform, books and travel. Giving them access to a great education, and more hope and stability.

If you'd like to help support them, I would be so grateful, as I know they are too, as well as being so dedicated to learning. Every donation helps us get to our target - thank you so much!

SCIATICA 🦵🏼

ℹ️ What is it?

Sciatica is nerve pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve - the longest nerve in your body. The pain originates from the lower back and moves down the back of the leg.

💥 Common symptoms?

- Sharp or burning pain down the leg

- Numbness or tingling
- Pain that worsens when sitting
- Weakness in the leg or foot

Here’s a few quick stretches you can add to your day to keep pain away. Try them and let me know how it works for you!

Let’s clear this up 💆‍♀️

Sports massage isn’t supposed to be painful, it’s not just for athletes and it’s definitely not a luxury add-on. It’s about keeping your body moving well, recovering faster and preventing injuries.

A little look at my year so far 🤍

Slow walks with Tamu by the lake, snowy mornings up on the fells with the best views.
Cosy pub stops with friends and family after long days outside and some pancake making!

All in a place I love with the best four-legged sidekick.

Here’s to more lake swims, fell days, and adventures 🐾✨

↓ Read this if you’re between 25 and 45

Age isn’t usually the issue when it comes to recurring groin pain, capacity is. If something keeps flaring up, it’s often because certain elements are missing from your training rather than because you’re doing too much.

Here are a few things I’d include:

👉🏼Hip flexion work matters, as the adductors play a key role in stabilising the hip and supporting movement through this range.

👉🏼Isometrics, they’re brilliant for building strength and control without irritating symptoms, especially when things are already sensitive.

👉🏼Progressive strength work is just as important. Strengthening the adductors and surrounding muscles helps improve single-leg control and reduces the risk of recurring strains. Hip internal rotation also matters, because we don’t live or train in one straight line, and a lack of it can increase stress through the groin.

You don’t need to train harder or push through pain, you usually just need a better plan that covers all of this properly.

💥 ROTATOR CUFF CARE 💥

Shoulder pain isn’t always about weakness, it’s often about poor control.
Your rotator cuff’s job is to guide and stabilise the shoulder.

Here are 6 simple exercises to build control and strength:
• External rotation with band.
• Internal rotation with band.
• Banded pull aparts.
• Overhead carry or stability hold.
• Scaption raise.
• Side-lying external rotation.

Save this to strengthen your shoulders 💪🏼

🇮🇹 ROME MARATHON 🏃‍♀️

This year I’m running the Rome Marathon, not just for the challenge, but for Pascal and Mary ❤️

I would love to help put both of them through private boarding school in Kenya for a whole year. Including their uniform, books and travel too so they can have one full year of education and stability.

If you’d like to help support them, I’d be so grateful. Every donation helps us get closer to my £855 target.

Thank you for any support you can give 🇮🇹💪🏼

💥 MID BACK PAIN 💥

That stiff, tight feeling between your shoulders isn’t always about posture.
Mid-back pain often comes down to how much movement and load your spine is actually exposed to day to day.

Here are a couple of exercises to relieve mid-back pain.

Save this if your mid back always feels tight!
