It's race week for the Gazley Volkswagen Wellington Marathon! This week I'm going to take you through some tips to help you get to the start line fresh and ready to go. And also remind you of what not to do in the final week!

The first thing is make sure you have your race day breakfast sorted:
✅ you have what you want to eat (especially if you are traveling)
✅ you have practiced eating the same thing before your long runs (and it worked)
✅ stick to what you know and nothing new on race day 💩

And as always people on the waitlist gets first access.

If you want the best chance of securing a spot (especially for Thursday or popular times), make sure you’re on the list.

Not-so-fun fact: the position mums hold their wrists in during feeding is almost identical to the position physios often tell injured people to avoid.

Except mums aren’t doing it once or twice, they’re doing it all day, every day.

Feeds, car seat lifts, cot transfers, hip carries, pram pushing, reaching, lifting, rocking, carrying on repeat.

So it’s no surprise wrist and thumb pain are so common in motherhood and why being told to “just rest it” isn’t exactly realistic advice.

The postpartum body isn’t able to rest to heal, it’s working hard every single day.

I believe mums deserve support and training that actually reflects that ❤️

👎 Mum thumb is real, it has a name and you don't have to just live with it.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis is what happens when the tendons connecting your thumb to your wrist get repeatedly loaded without enough recovery time which is essentially the entire first year of having a baby. Lifting, feeding holds, carrying, gripping. Same tendons, same direction, all day long.

Most mums I work with have been managing it in silence for a while before they mention it, usually because nobody told them it was a thing they could actually do something about. Resting where possible, icing regularly, wearing a splint to take pressure off the tendon and seeing a physio if it's been going on for more than a few weeks, that's where to start.

At Sparkle Fitness, I make sure we're not adding to the problem. We modify, build supporting strength and don't push through pain just to get a session done.

💬 Save this post and send it to a mum in your world who needs to hear that what she's feeling has a name and a fix.

When you see the MumSafe™ badge on a trainer's profile, it means they've met every one of these standards before they were allowed to carry it.

Every single one, not most of them - all five.

MumSafe is the gold standard and it exists because mums deserve exercise professionals who have prepared done the work and uphold best practice.

I chose to become a MumSafe Trainer because I believe the mums I work with deserve to know before they ever book a session that the person in front of them is educated and qualified to look after them.

If you've ever wondered what separates a MumSafe Trainer from a regular PT who works with mums this is your answer.

💬 Save this post and share it with a mum who's trying to find the right trainer. It might make that decision a whole lot easier.

After I had daughter, I found myself doing what most mums do, piecing things together from Instagram, asking my GP and midwife questions they weren't really trained to answer and honestly just guessing when it felt okay to push harder and I was already someone who had been trianing for years and had accumulated a vast amount of knowledge even before I became a PT and coach. It was one of the reasons why I decided to focus on postpartum training when I first became a trainer.

That experience was uncomfortable in the best possible way, because it made me want to understand it properly not just for myself, but for every mum who would ever train with me.

Becoming a MumSafe Trainer meant learning more, getting a proper pre and postnatal certification and the right insurance, building a real relationship with a pelvic health physio. Committing to ongoing education so I'm not working from information that's 5 years out of date.

It changed how I coach and it changed how I think about what mums actually need from a trainer versus what most of them are getting.

You deserve someone who got the education, understands the journey and is fully prepared to support you - that's what I'm here for.
