🚀 3 Top Tips to SAFELY Increase Your Running Mileage

1️⃣ CONSISTENCY IS KEY 🔑

It’s not flashy, but it’s the secret weapon. Stick with your current mileage for 3–4 weeks, then bump it up by 10–15%. Rinse and repeat. That steady approach teaches your body how to handle the load without breaking down.

2️⃣ MIX UP YOUR SESSIONS 🏃‍♂️

Don’t get stuck doing the same run every time! Include a mix of easy runs, intervals, and long runs. This variety sharpens your efficiency, form, and endurance, helping you run further—faster.

3️⃣ DON’T FORGET NUTRITION 🍚

More miles mean more fuel burned! Make sure you’re eating enough to recover properly and keep your energy high. Skimping here is one of the quickest routes to injury and fatigue.

👉 Be patient, listen to your body, and let progress build layer by layer—because the safest way to go further is slowly.

🔁 Save this post for when you’re planning your next mileage increase!

Sports Massage vs Deep Tissue…

We often get asked “what is the difference?”

Harry explains 👇

Deep tissue massage targets long standing aches and pains using slow, focused techniques to ease knots and tension. It’s typically more passive and can feel relaxing.

Sports massage focuses on movement and function. If you’re experiencing tightness or pain in a specific area, we use more dynamic techniques, sometimes with your active participation to release restrictions and restore motion.

And no, sports massage isn’t just for athletes! We treat everyone, from desk workers to elite performers.

Struggling with stubborn Achilles pain that just won’t ease off?

Here’s the truth: rest alone won’t fix it. Effective rehab needs structure, strength, and smart progression.

Here are 3 key phases I use with runners dealing with Achilles tendon issues:

1️⃣ Isometric holds – Build pain tolerance and tendon load capacity without aggravation.

2️⃣ Heavy slow resistance – Rebuild tendon strength and resilience over time.

3️⃣ Plyometrics – Restore spring, power, and elasticity for that efficient push-off in your stride.

Think of it as recalibrating the tendon, step by step — not rushing the process, but rebuilding it stronger than before.

🏃‍♂️ Want to know how to structure this safely into your training plan? Drop a comment or DM to chat about your Achilles rehab.

𝗔 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗘 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗧𝗦𝗥 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁…

*Based on true accounts of a sports therapist*

Over the years the guys at the clinic have literally seen tens of thousands of people

BUT, no 2 days are ever the same!

Even we get surprised at times by what clients say and do in an appointment

From comical stories through to the reactions we get to the most simple of questions

Here are a few of our most common, let’s call them…miscommunications 😂

It’s a good job we are a patient bunch!

Enjoy 😊

“How often should I get treatment?” 🤔

How long is a piece of string comes to mind 🪢

This is a question we get asked numerous times per week at TSR

The honest answer is probably more often than you are doing, BUT not as often as other therapists may tell you

If you are injured or in pain we would always recommend getting it sorted as soon as possible, and you may need more than one treatment session to resolve it

But typically we try to encourage exercise more than we do treatment

You know…Treat the cause not the symptoms 😏

What we would always suggest is that to stay injury and pain free, it is always worth looking at maintenance work like regular sports massage

Every 4-6 weeks is a general rule if you want to reduce your injury risk, and stop a ni**le becoming an injury 👍

However every person is individual. Some people need more, some less

If you are a little unsure then get in touch with the guys at TSR, we are always happy to answer any questions you may have 😀

𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗦 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆? 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 ⬇️

I have heard it time and time again from my clients…

“I had a bit of pain, but when I went back to the gym it got worse”

A bit of deep diving into this and I find that after warning signs, clients go back to the gym at 100% of what they did before the pain…

Then they make it worse 🙈

Sound like you? 🤨

For many of my clients after injury they neglect the basics

They start back at the same point before their injury 🏋️‍♂️

This can increase your reinjury rate, putting your progress back further and leading to a longer time away from the sports and activities you love 😩

💭So next time you pick up an injury think…

Sometimes it’s better to take a few steps backwards, before you can move forward 📈

𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀…𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? 🏃‍♀️

Did you know…🤔

Studies show that you have a 24.3% chance of a knee injury if you are running regularly and female runners have a higher prevalence rate than male runners (39.7vs34.3%) (Dempster, 2021)

Whether it’s a marathon, a park run or 1km loops at Hyrox, running daily takes it’s toll on the knees

But more often than not we see runners shrug these issues off as a bit of a ni**le 🤷🏻‍♂️

What we find in the TSR clinic is what starts as a “ni**le” can quickly become an issue that reduces running intensity and frequency

Basically meaning a reduction in your training and doing what helps your physical and mental health 😩

So why not this time be more proactive?

Get your knees checked before they become an issue

The Team at TSR are here to help 🙋🏼‍♂️

Are you one of the 68%? Read on to find out more ⬇️

Benefits include:

🔥Stimulates blood flow and nutrients to muscles

🔥Can increase flexibility and joint mobility

🔥Can stimulate and optimise the healing process of muscles, tendons and ligaments

People are often surprised when they walk into the TSR clinic 🤯

We are not sure if they have past experiences of boring “physio” clinics, with bands and sheets of 1980s inspired exercises with towels and tins of beans 🥱

BUT, at TSR we are not your average clinic…

We have a fully equipped, private gym space with a whole range of equipment to help you return to exercise 💪

We have tried to emulate a gym environment, not only so you can build strength, stability and mobility, but so you can regain CONFIDENCE when exercising 🏋️‍♂️

Matt L and the rest of the team are specialists in rehab and training, and can provide you the skills, knowledge and confidence you can take away to use in your own gym environment 🧠

So if you are feeling a little ‘wobbly’ after your injury and need that confidence back, we are the team for you 🫵

Want to reduce your INJURY risk? You need to do this ⬇️

Did you guess what it is?🤔

If you said STRENGTH training then you would be correct ✅

The truth of the matter is the stronger you are, the more resilient you will be to pain and injury

Nothing can PREVENT injury, BUT…

Strength is PROTECTIVE 💪

However, strength is not just defined by your squat, bench and deadlift numbers

The healthiest people have the ability to show strength in numerous multi-directional, functional and challenging positions

If you want to reduce your injury risk then you need to be exercising in different positions and pushing out of your comfort zone 👍

Overtraining in your 20s may lead to INJURY in your 30s…Here’s why ⬇️

In your teens and 20s you have an abundance of energy and your recovery times are much faster ⚡️

This is because hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones and human growth hormone are working together to keep you in great shape 💪

Physically you are in your optimal decade, and the side benefit of this is you can build muscle faster, your cardiovascular endurance peaks and your workouts are much more effective

BUT, this abundance of energy can lead to a serious negative effect…

OVERTRAINING ❌

Rest and recovery are equally as important as the amount of exercise you are doing and can help reduce your risk of injury 👍

⭐️Pay attention to form and technique

⭐️Optimise your nutrition to support recovery

⭐️Get high quality sleep and rest

Avoid overtraining in your 20s and your 30s and onwards will be more likely to be injury free 😃
