Comrades Chronicles

20 days to go…

It’s crunch time!

Making sure you have adequate rest at this point in your build up is vital! The work is done and overtraining at this point can definitely ruin your race day!

If you have any niggles at all, now is the time to make sure you are recovering properly, it could mean the difference between finishing or not on the big day!

Rest doesn’t have to mean being a couch potato, but taking rest after training hard allows your body to absorb all that work you have put in!

Train Hard, Rest Harder!

You can’t gain much more fitness in the next 3 weeks, but you can definitely undo your hard work by overdoing it at this point!

So be wise and look after your body. Cold plunges, stretching, foam rolling and getting your feet up on your off days are the answer now!

Comrades Chronicles

There’s little over 3 weeks to go until the Ultimate Human Race!

A common problem amongst runners and sportspersons alike is ITB Syndrome.

Normally experienced as a severe sharp pain on the outside of the knee.

Here is just a little information on common causes and what to do if you are trying to avoid it, or how to treat it if it’s already an issue!

Get in contact for any other information you might need or advise on what more you can do about it!

Comrades Chronicles

1 month to go!!!!

Stretching is a big part of injury prevention but making sure you stretch in the correct manner is just as important!

Dynamic stretching refers to a variety of dynamic, sport specific movements, that create length in the muscle and increase blood flow in preparation for the task you are about to undertake. It is important to make sure your lengthening prior to exercise is movement based as opposed to static holds!

That being said. There is definitely a place for static stretching in sport!

Static stretching creates length in the muscles and reduces post workout stiffness and should thus be used as part of the cool down process!

Because of the relaxing nature of static stretching, it can have an adverse effect on performance if done at the wrong time. So knowing what to do, and when to do it is important!

Dynamic stretching should be a part of your warm up process and static stretching, a part of your cool down!

Keep these things in mind as you enter this last month of comrades training and if you need assistance with what stretching you need to be doing, or how to approach your ‘Pre-hab’, don’t hesitate to get in contact!

Movement is medicine!

Biceps Tendinitis

Commonly miss diagnosed issue in the shoulder that is often made to be more complicated than it is.

Very often experienced as an ‘impingement’ like feeling, ‘catching’ in the shoulder, pain on the front of the shoulder and difficulty moving in overhead positions.

If you have been experiencing any of these issues but are unsure of what to do about it, get in contact with us and we’ll be more than happy to help get to the bottom of what’s causing your problems.

A physical assessment of the shoulder is vital in determining the cause of the issue at hand.

As everyone starts ramping up their run training after the off season/rest post comrades. Over training can lead to small niggles like Achilles tendinitis.

There are a couple of preventative measures you can take to assist in the prevention of this.

One of the biggest things runners hate doing is resistance training. Eccentric loading can really help cope with the physical stresses of running.

If you are struggling with any niggles or would just like some advice on preventing them, feel free to contact us!
