The area most runners forget to train...

Hint: It's not your legs! 😉

Your upper body helps control rhythm, gives you drive and power on the hills and helps with stability, especially on uneven ground.

Strong shoulders and core muscles = smoother, safer runs.

Good mobility through your thoracic spine helps optimise running mechanics and enables efficient breathing patterns.

Your upper body is more important than you might realise in running performance and form. Give it some attention and you'll start to really notice a difference, I guarantee it!

All winter, our feet are bundled up in thick socks, stiff soles, with minimal movement - they get used to not working.

Then the weather warms up, we swap boots for trainers or sandals and start walking and running and generally moving more.

Suddenly those same feet are expected to spring back into action!!

The problem is that after months of limited movement, your foot muscles and connective tissues are deconditioned, so when the demand increases (hello long summer runs!) issues like plantarfasciitis, calf tightness and shin splints often appear.

Your feet are the foundation of your gait. When they can't move well, feel and respond to the ground, the whole kinetic chain is affected - knees, hips, even your back has to compensate.

🔔This is your reminder to start reintroducing foot mobility even if your miles drop over the winter.

👣Gentle toe spreads
🥎Rolling through your arches
🚶‍♀️Barefoot balance drills

Wake your feet up now and your body will thank you as the miles start building up again!
