If you run (including triathlons & hybrid training running) there are some recommendations for you towards the end ⬇️
So many runners are long term regulars & supporters of my classes so I was more than happy to sponsor & support the Helix Pond Races organised by
The second year of these races was on Friday & the standard & speeds were insane! There were 2 races for each distance & every single runner absolutely smashed it 👏🏼👏🏼
2 new course records:
1 mile female 4:58 Kirsty Walker
3km male 8:34 David Wright
2 course records equaled:
1 mile male 4:27 Callum Hunter
3km female 10:37 Kara McKenzie Tait
I’ve said before that I am an anatomy geek & watching the individual styles of running was fascinating 🧐
Your body is unique & the cues you hear in my classes encourage you to get to know your amazing body better. To become aware of (not judge) imbalances so you know where you can help to build more strength & improve mobility.
Having watched people cool down & stretch (or not 😂) after the races, my advice to runners is:
keep doing your glute & leg stretches & don’t skip your inner thighs. Hip flexors (front of hips) are often neglected & they’ve worked so hard so show them some love. Bring in twists, chest openers & movements for your shoulder blades & spine. View it like you’re applying WD40 to your joints.
Doing those regularly will help endurance & speed with improved circulation. You’ll breath more efficiently, have bigger range of movement, reduce risk of injury, help ease back pain, make putting on socks easier……….there are many more benefits but this post is long enough!
Look after your body like it’s the only one you’ll get, cause it actually is 🫶🏼
