🔔 Ring the PB bell !! 🔔

Massive congratulations to my client, Matt, for nailing an all-time half marathon PB at the Antrim Coast Half Marathon yesterday 🥇

A cracking result of 73 minutes 28 seconds and well earned! 🏃🏁

Matt has been working hard with me in his strength & conditioning PT sessions, to become stronger, faster, fitter & more resilient in his races.

(And it was just a couple of weeks ago that he won the local 5K “Towpath Challenge“ race!)😳

Strong runners don’t just train their legs. 💪🏃‍♂️

I’m a runner, what’s the point in training the upper back/upper body? This is a question I’ve been asked a few times by my running clients 🤔

Your upper back plays a bigger role in running strength & conditioning than you might think 😯

Yes, a strong upper back helps maintain good posture & control while you run — but there’s another, arguably more important reason to train it ☝🏼

Your back is the foundation that allows you to lift heavy 📈

Barbell squats. Deadlifts. Romanian deadlifts. Loaded carries etc 🏋🏻‍♂️

A strong upper back helps create the stability & rigidity needed to control the bar, maintain position & transfer force efficiently through your body ⚖️🚀

The stronger you can make those big compound lifts, the more capacity you have to develop strength, power & resilience that ultimately benefits your running 🏃🏻‍♀️

So don’t just train the muscles that move you forward ⏩️

Build the back that helps make everything else stronger 🔥

Fantastic running from my PT & massage client, Katy, last weekend as she completed the speech “Bob Graham round“ 🏃🏻‍♀️👀

No I must admit, until I met Katy, I had no idea what this event was either… 🤷

This is one of those “unofficial” events that is self supported/navigated/fuelled etc and is done whenever you want to do it (think; 3-peaks challenge, but much much harder!) 🧭

66 continuous miles of fell running in the Lake District, hitting 42 of the peaks, with a total ascent of over 27,000 feet…! ⛰️🏞️

To complete the event through night & day really is an incredible feat 🤯

Even more so when you consider that from a relatively early point, she was struggling to keep food down (not what you want for a huge endurance event!), as well as buggering her knee up which required support-strapping at her next checkpoint.🤮🤕😵‍💫

A number of support runners joined in for sections of the course to help keep her spirits up, but no one did anywhere near the distance that Katy accomplished 🏆

She may be quiet & unassuming on the outside, but underneath that calm exterior, she really is hard as nails!! ⚒️

Fantastic job Katy! Really well done 🥳👏🏼👏🏼

🔔Ring the PB bell 🔔

Huge congrats to my client Natasha - another 10km PB achieved at the weekend at Frome 🥇🏃🏻‍♀️💨🏁🥳

Runners, there is more to running than just running… 🏃‍♀️

If you want to run faster, stronger & more efficiently, your training shouldn’t stop when you take your running shoes off.

Build strength💪🏼 Develop power🚀 Improve balance ⚖️ Challenge your coordination🤹🏼‍♂️

Because the better your body can produce, control & absorb force, the better equipped you are to run 🤩

Strength & conditioning isn’t an alternative to running — it’s what helps you get more from it 💪

I’VE GOT YOUR BACK 💪🏃‍♂️

⚡ Improve power & running economy

And now for something completely different..! 😯

British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend - well excited 🏎️🏁🤗

Sooo much more than “watching cars go round & round” ☝🏼

Think more of “festival vibes” behind the scenes - saw David Guetta live last night 🕺🏻🎆

Chase & Status tonight, Rudimental after that 🤘🏼

And still able to watch the tennis & footie World Cup 🎾 ⚽️

Sprint race tomorrow, main race on Sunday💯🏁

I love watching cars go round and round..! 😁
