Weekly review roundup ⭐️

Sharing a selection of reviews — some recent, some from further back — but all reflecting the same goal: helping people move better, recover from injury, and get back to doing what they enjoy.

Whether it’s runners returning from persistent ni**les, desk-based workers overcoming long-standing back pain, or athletes improving performance through rehab — every case is different, and that’s what makes this work so rewarding.

Reviews, new or old, are always appreciated. Not just as feedback, but as a reminder of the impact that tailored rehab, education, and consistent support can have over time.

If you’ve been in recently and had a positive experience, sharing your thoughts helps others feel confident taking that first step towards recovery.

Making the 20% of the week count with this interval session

Operation - Run like Sawe!
A universe apart from the elites but incorporating elite strategies for improving VO2 Max and running economy is for everyone.

8 x 600m with 90 seconds rest.

Overstretching slightly this sessions but not far from the 600m, great if you can manage more distance for each interval or moderate to 400m. It should feel comfortably hard but not overcooking it where you can’t run for days following.

Aiming to get comfortable at running sub 4:00 for the Leeds 10km, while maintaining aerobic base for the Yorkshire marathon block starting straight after.

1:47 -> 1:31:31.

This race wasn’t perfect, but honestly this training block has been the biggest learning curve for me.

Things that went well:

* Fuelling and hydration beforehand felt much better
* Sleep routine and recovery were consistent all week
* Pacing was controlled and patient early on
* I stuck to the fuelling plan during the race
* Finished strongly despite setbacks

The biggest challenge was my HR spiking very early despite feeling comfortable, then getting stomach cramps around 6km after rushing a gel trying to dispose of it quickly at the previous water station trying to get rid of my rubbish.

That knocked me out of rhythm for a while, but the biggest positive was being able to reset mentally and keep pushing.

The final 5km ended up being around 40 seconds slower than my current 5km PB pace, which tells me the endurance and fitness are there.

Biggest lesson:
Fitness is only one part of racing well. Ex*****on matters just as much.

Now the focus shifts to:

* controlling effort earlier
* smoother fuelling
* staying relaxed under pressure
* and sharpening the small details

Sub-1:30 is getting closer.

Thank you again to those that have followed along the journey! Still some baseline measurements to get this year!
