Helping Endurance Athletes swap injuries for Personal Bests.

This is a HUGE issue for a lot of runners!

Training can be solid, everything is in place, the fitness is there, then all of a sudden, things start to spiral.

It’s such a shame to see.

Race day anxiety is super common.

Take a scroll through these tips, and let me know what other strategies you have that work well for you in the comments. 👇

Thinking about increasing from 3 to 4 runs per week but worried about getting injured?

Most runners don’t get injured because they run more — it’s often because they try to increase frequency, volume, and intensity all at the same time.

Too much too soon. You know the score…

Here are a few tips to help you make that transition a bit more smoothly:

👉 Make the 4th run short and easy

👉 Keep weekly mileage the same at first with the new frequency

👉 Spread volume across the week to help your body adapt

👉 Then, gradually build volume over a few weeks-months to increase tissue tolerance

When the progression is right, you can run more, reduce the injury risk, and build the kind of routine that allows you to run higher volume weeks if performance is your goal.

If you want guidance on progressing safely and building a plan that works for your body, drop me a DM. I’m here to help. 🤘

Sometimes that’s all that matters.

I thought that would be the case running this evening.

I’m not keen on running this time of day personally.

I don’t feel energised.

It feels like hard work getting out of the door.

It becomes something I start viewing as ‘have to do’ as opposed to ‘get to do.’

I went out with the 10 min rule in mind. Knowing I wouldn’t just go back home, but gave myself the option of adapting the session.

Turns out, once I set off and warmed up, things actually felt great.

Another solid session done.

Another brick in the resilience wall.

Another reminder that you can feel totally different just by changing your physiology.

Do you find that too?

It feels like time slows down when you’re injured doesn’t it!

Truth is, most soft tissue injuries take between a few weeks and a few months to fully resolve depending on the issue.

The hardest bit?

Keeping your head in the game and not just going in to f*ck it mode.

Sticking to a progressive plan can really help here.

One where you’re focusing on what you CAN do, instead of sat being frustrated at what you maybe can’t right now.

Let’s not lose more lovely runners to a sport they don’t even like, just because the advice and management has been poor.

Drop me a DM if you’d like to do this rehab thing properly and get stuck in.

Online and Face to Face options available. 🤘

I’m pretty sure this guy doubles in size most days! 😅

Going to make a great running patter in the future! 🤩

Unlock Your Best Running Self with my Rockstar Lab Testing Sessions.

Do you want to run faster, longer — and injury-free?

My advanced 5-stage testing process gives you real data, not guesswork.

Here’s what you get ⬇️

• Running training and recovery review.

• Full 3D gait analysis (thanks to the latest Run Easi platform) — we dive into pelvis control, impact forces, ground contact time, symmetry, cadence and more — things your eye can’t see.

• Slow-motion video breakdown of your run-form, so you truly understand how you move — and how to make changes if necessary.

• Mobility assessment + targeted mobility drills if required.

• Strength & power testing (dynamometer + gym lifts) to see exactly how force and power output stack up — no guessing, just facts.

After your session, you’ll receive your “Rockstar Lab Report” summarising your data + a clear plan to improve running economy, strength, and reduce injury risk.

Who it’s for:
✅ Runners coming back from injury or niggles
✅ Anyone wanting to improve running form or economy
✅ Performance-focused runners chasing PRs
✅ Anyone serious about longevity in running, strength, and mobility (no matter your running ability!)

If you’re ready to run smarter — not just harder — this is your ticket!

Am I right?!

I speak to victims of crappy social media advice every week in my running clinic.

It’s such a hard balance.

The black and white gains traction on socials, but the nuance is where the true wisdom is.

Be careful not to take things for gospel from social media. No matter how big the person’s following is.

Most forms of information need to be moulded to your individual needs.

That’s where working with a professional comes in.

I spend lots of time helping runners course correct in both coaching and rehab capacities.

Undoing habits and helping create a new path for runners to get to where they want to be.

My coaching books are closed right now while I focus on the awesome squad I’m lucky enough to work with.

If you need help with your running rehab, drop me a DM and let’s chat. 🤘

Struggling to stay consistent through winter? You’re deffo not alone!

Cold mornings, dark nights, crap weather… but this is where winter runners separate themselves in the lead up to next year.

Here are simple, practical ways to keep your training on track through the winter months:

1. Set “minimums”, not perfection.
Aim for something, not everything. 20–30 mins counts. Consistency always beats hero sessions.

2. Dress for mile 2. Start slightly cool, avoid overheating, and make heading out the door less painful.

3. Book your runs like appointments.
Put them in your calendar. Set alerts. Treat them like non-negotiable meetings with yourself.

4. Use light to your advantage.
Daylight run? Great. Dark run? Headtorch + reflective gear + podcast. Job done.

5. Run with accountability. A friend, a group, a coach, or even posting your training publicly. You’re far more likely to show up if someone’s expecting you.

Winter training doesn’t have to feel great — treat it as a way of building discipline.

Winter miles = summer smiles

Just keep showing up. 🤘

Hate the gym?

You’re not alone.

But if you’re a runner, here’s the truth: you don’t need to love the gym to get stronger — you just need a plan and a purpose.

Here are 3 ideas to make gym sessions actually enjoyable:

✅ Go in with a simple plan. No faff. 4–6 exercises. Get it done.

🎧 Headphones on = world off. Create your own environment through awesome music.

✅ Choose lifts that you know will help your running. When training feels like it helps what you’re working towards… motivation skyrockets.

Strength doesn’t come from loving the gym.

It comes from showing up — even when you’d rather be anywhere else.

Get in, get strong, get out.

Your running will thank you. 🤘
