Please join us in welcoming Annabelle to Well Human!

Annabelle graduated from Brunel University and has since built an impressive and diverse career across multiple clinical settings, including the NHS, the sports industry, and private practice. Her experience spans high-performance environments too having worked within the physiotherapy departments of a Premier League football team in Singapore and the Category 2 Academy at Colchester United Football Club.

Alongside her clinical work, Annabelle trains in calisthenics, a discipline she believes is one of the most powerful ways to build strength, resilience, and functional movement.

She also brings additional expertise with a Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage, plus certifications in Kinesiology and Sports Taping. Her key clinical interests include musculoskeletal rehabilitation and functional movement training.

With Sunday racing towards us here are few quick tips to keep in mind these final 4 days before we lace up and take on the beautiful Cotswolds

Rule 1

Pacing Your Body
Normal Pre-Race Tightness… or Pain You Shouldn’t Ignore?

Rule 2

Totally Normal Pre-Race Tightness

Stiffness on both sides (e.g. both calves or quads)

Feels better once you start moving

Low-level (1–3/10) discomfort

Doesn’t change your running form or stride

Often just taper jitters or muscle load.

Rule 3

Warning Signs of Real Pain

Pain in one specific spot (bone or tendon)

Sharp or stabbing sensation

Gets worse as you run, not better

Makes you alter your stride or limp

Still sore the next morning

Rule 4

Quick Rule to Remember

If movement makes it feel looser — carry on.
If movement makes it worse — stop and reassess.

Keeping it light + intentional today — just rolling out and waking things up:

Foam roll sweep — calves → quads → hamstrings → upper back (1-2mins each)
Glute bridges (banded if availiable)
Clamshells to fire up the glutes
Standing calf raises to finish

No burning out. Just priming the engine.

Why Humans Are Top in Endurance

Unlike speed or strength, endurance is about the ability to sustain activity over very long distances and time. Humans have unique adaptations that make us exceptional long-distance runners:

Sweating for cooling – Most mammals overheat during prolonged running; humans can cool efficiently through sweating.

Upright posture & stride – Our gait conserves energy over long distances.

Tendon and ligament elasticity – The Achilles tendon and plantar fascia act like springs to support endurance running.

Breathing independent of stride – Many quadrupeds must sync breath with gait, but humans can breathe freely while running.

Persistence hunting history – Early humans likely ran prey to exhaustion over hours.

READY. SET. GO.

The countdown is on! Just over a week until we stand at the starting line, hearts racing and spirits high.

Every stride, every breath, every heartbeat is a reminder of what you’re capable of. This isn’t just a run. It’s a journey of strength, determination, and discovery.

On Sunday, 19th October, join us for The Well Run.
Together, we’ll push past limits, find our rhythm, and run not just for the finish line, but for the feeling that comes with knowing you did it! Sign up now online- https://race-nation.co.uk/register/dv-events/well-run-2025
