Good luck to the members of our GRC Racing Team doing the John Muir Way 50KM Ultramarathon tomorrow, including Mariam! The route takes in the Eastern section of the John Muir Way along some beautiful coastal trails. Some new trails for Mariam and pretty flat too....not a mountain in sight 😅...definitely outside her comfort zone. Enjoy the day and looks like the weather is on your side ☀️

Good luck to our Danny who will be racing the Glentress Trail Half Marathon this Sunday. The forecast is to be cold 🥶 ❄️ So the only solution would be to run faster!! 🏃🏽‍♂️ 💨

We would like to acknowledge a fantastic achievement by Ryan whose final running goal for 2025 was to achieve a sub-3hr Marathon time. A marathon is 26.2 miles (42km) and for many, running the distance under 3 hours is a big goal post to aim for. With the help of Jonny as his running coach, Ryan worked very very hard, training consistently and impressively, completing some really tough sessions at really uncivilised times into the night and early hours of the morning to make it work around his family life and work commitments. Well done, Ryan and hats off to you for your 2hrs 56 mins time 🔥💪 Well deserved!

"Floppy Face, Floppy F***y" ....if you know, you know 👀

Huge thanks to everyone who made it along to Mariam's Pelvic Health & The Female Athlete workshop at in Aviemore over the weekend. Lots of learning and laughter had by all, which hopefully also means less daunting to seek help if you are experiencing pelvic floor issues.

It was also great to spend the weekend in the beautiful Cairngorms again with Jonny especially delighted he managed to get his touring skis on and get on the mountain (despite the challenging conditions!) 🏔 to open what hopefully will be a promising winter season in Scotland 🤞⛷️❄️

HOW IS DRY NEEDLING BELIEVED TO WORK
Dry needling is based on the theory that when trigger points develop in the soft tissues, they lead to neuromuscular dysfunction, which results in pain, decreased function and increased stress on the surrounding soft tissue structures. Trigger points are ‘hyper irritable’ areas in in soft tissue structures such as fascia and muscle and dry needling is used to elicit a twitch response to release the trigger point and restore normal function to the tissue.
Studies have shown that needling deactivates the trigger point and facilitates the muscle to relax and lengthen, alleviating the original problem area as well as the secondary, referred pain area. It is believed to stimulate the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals which help block pathways that relay pain messages from the body to the brain, resulting in relief of pain, general relaxation and biochemical restoration of the body. The improved biochemical balance stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities, reduces inflammation, and promotes physical and emotional well-being. Localised increases in circulation around the needle is also believed to support tissue healing.
