When it comes to engaging our kids in risky play, it doesn’t have to be complex. Something as simple as finding something to balance on is allowing children to explore boundaries and test their limits, whilst also building confidence

Just over here, reliving 1 week on

07/07/2026

You trained for months to complete your marathon.

One of the biggest mistakes runners make is returning to training too early, based on how they feel rather than how well they’ve actually recovered.

The soreness usually settles within a few days, but muscle repair, tendon recovery, immune function and your nervous system continue recovering for weeks.

A simple guide:
🏃 0–2 days: Rest, eat, hydrate and sleep.
🚶 Days 3–7: Walking and light movement.
🏃 Week 2: Easy running if symptoms have settled.
📈 Weeks 3–4: Gradually rebuild volume.
⚡ Weeks 4–6: Reintroduce workouts and long runs.

Remember: you won’t lose much fitness from taking an extra week to recover, but returning too soon can increase your injury risk and delay your progress.

Save this post for after your next marathon and send it to a training partner who needs the reminder.

GOLD COAST HALF MARATHON:
I set a big goal for myself this year to give me a solid amount of motivation to make running a regular part of my training week.
As someone who always despised long distance running (when your former sporting life consisted of being confined to an 18 yard box, anything that wasn’t a sprinting distance was too far 😅😅), I couldn’t sign up to a half marathon and just ‘wing it’
I put in a solid 6 months of regular running, with the primary goal of just completing the race. And on the day, I was beyond ecstatic to complete the whole 21.1 without walking.
My support crew kept themselves occupied by meeting all the police and paramedics out on course, and keeping the medic busy with a paper cut from the happy meal box 😅
Next goal, get faster otherwise my 5 year old is going to start beating me at parkrun 😅

One of the weekend tasks has been putting the orthotic room together. We have utilised some of the upstairs space in our new clinic to set up a dedicated ‘tinkering room’ - think insole modifications, creating offloading padding, and all round craftiness.
This space is where the magic can happen when it comes to providing pain relief in lower limb injuries.

Let’s move the treatment chair down to the clinic! Most of our stuff went in the back of the car, but when it came to the treatment chair, pushing it down the road was the easiest option!
