First for 2026 🙌😊
And Happy New Year Everyone!

Today’s learning:
a slower run = an enjoyable run.
(Yes, I did just use “enjoyable” and “run” in the same sentence 😄) I know, I need to watch my language! 🫣

There’s actually no rule about how fast, or how far, you have to run to be a 'runner'🤯
I know… mind-blowing.

It’s our own expectations that tell us how we “should” be, to be acceptable. And wow, do we do this in fitness — and life — a lot.

“I have to beat my last time every run.”
“I have to look like a runner to be a runner.”
“I have to run without stopping.”
“I have to run long distances to justify the effort.”
Blah, blah blah...

So many bloody have-to’s!

For years, my belief was: “I’m not a runner.”
So naturally… I started running 😂
Because I hated it.
Because it challenged me so much. But really
🥵

Last year my focus was running speed. Hybrid-style fitness events I've been doing meant running was my weak point, so parkrun became part of the plan to improve that. Like many people, my goal was simple: get my 5km time down. And I did.

But… the faster I chased, the less I enjoyed it.
And honestly? I started to dislike running quite intensely.

Sub-30min became the focus — not how my body felt.

Many running programs talk about slow runs, but I never really understood what that was meant to feel like… until recently. And now I do.

Since slowing my pace, I’ve noticed something big:
I don’t hate it anymore. 🤯 well not as intensely 😅
And more importantly — my body doesn’t hate it either.

There’s actually strong evidence behind slowing your pace:
• It builds aerobic capacity and endurance
• Improves running efficiency over time
• Reduces stress on joints and connective tissue
• Supports recovery and nervous system regulation
• Lowers injury risk while still improving performance

Basically… slower doesn’t mean weaker. It means smarter.

As I choofed along today at my 7+ min/km pace, I caught myself thinking:
“Oh… hang on. I’m running a long distance, comfortablely.”
“My breathing is laboured, but comfortable.”
“This is kinda nice.”

I could take in my surroundings. Enjoy the scenery.
I wasn’t so focused on the torturous dying inside 🥵😅

And suddenly it clicked:
Ohhh… THIS is what a slower run is meant to feel like. A bit more cruisey. Noice! (Enter Kath & Kim 😆)

This year, I’m genuinely curious to see what focusing on slower running brings for me — physically, mentally, and energetically. Less forcing. More listening. More enjoyment.

Takeaways:
✨ You don’t 'have to' run fast or the whole way.
✨ Slowing down might be exactly what helps you go further — and enjoy it more.
✨ you can run your own way!

Here’s to redefining what “your way” looks like in 2026 🧡

And a big Kudos to Valentine Joe , Clare Dullard and my hubby Christopher Biggs for getting out there and running 'their way' today too. Love your work team 👏

As the year wraps up, my heart feels very full. 🫶

To every client, member, mover, groover, thinker, feeler, early-morning warrior and “I almost didn’t come but I’m glad I did” human — thank you.

Thank you for trusting me with your bodies, your energy, your stories, your hurts, your strength journeys and your nervous systems.
Thank you for showing up on the days it felt easy and the days it didn’t.
Thank you for laughing, swearing, sweating, resting when needed, and choosing yourselves again and again.
Thank you for trusting me to hold space for you, to guide, to challenge, to create growth and groundedness.

This year wasn’t about perfection — it was about showing up, presence, progress, connection and finding your centre (even when life felt a bit wobbly).

I'm proud of all my people and l'm proud of myself too. I've seen so much growth of my own.
I’m feeling deeply grateful… and also very excited.
Because 2026 is bringing more adventure, evolution, and some beautiful new developments to The Energy Centr — more depth, more balance, more ways to support you in feeling strong, centred, and fully alive ✨

So here’s to a Happy Fitmas — may your muscles recover, your hearts feel light, and your leggings forgive you 🎄
And a very Merry New Rear — stronger glutes, softer minds, fuller lives coming right up 🍑✨

Thank you for being part of this journey.
Rest well, laugh lots, eat the thing(s), and I’ll see you soon — ready to build what’s next together.

With so much love and gratitude, bring on 2026
Mars 💛💪

Wellness Wednesday

You can tell a lot about a woman’s life by what’s happening in her hips.
Tight, pinchy, achy, weak, overworked — it’s never just physical.

Perimenopause, stress, overwhelm, overdoing it, ignoring your own needs…
your hips feel all of it.

And they’re not subtle.
When they’re done holding everything together, they’ll tell you.
Loudly.

👉 Swipe through — your hips are trying to say something.

✨ First Personal Assisted Stretching client sent off like a gooey, rage doll. 🥴

And omg… what. a. session. 😂🙌

This beautiful lady came in feeling tight, her body narky, and restricted through her whole body. After a quick mobility check, it was pretty clear why things weren’t feeling so flash.

The best part?
She got to lay back on the massage table … and I did the work.

For 45min we moved through passive, and PNF stretches — hamstrings, groin, hips, glutes, lower back, trunk rotation, traps, chest, shoulders and lateral lines… the whole shebang.

And honestly… I didn’t think I’d ever hear so many “ohhhh YES!” sighs of relief in one session. 😆
Pure magic. ✨
wonderful Amelia, I trust you will sleep like a baby tonight 😴 thank you for coming in. 🙏

So grateful to be adding this service to The Energy Centr— helping people feel lighter, freer, and more at home in their bodies. 💛

WEDNESDAY WELLNESS

You’ve said some pretty harsh things about your body lately, haven’t you?

The mirror’s become a daily battleground — and no matter what you do, it never feels like enough.

But here’s the thing…
Your body isn’t the enemy.
It’s the one that’s been carrying you through every late night, every stress spiral, every battle and every harsh word you say to it and about it.

Maybe it’s time to stop tearing it down —
and start speaking more kindly to it. Listen to it, nourish it, be kind to it.

👉 Swipe through to see what your body’s really been doing for you.
Time to honour your body!

WEDNESDAY WELLNESS

Feeling foggy, stiff, laggy or tired?

💧You might be dehydrated in ways you don’t realise.

Dehydration isn’t just about thirst — it impacts everything from your brain and mood to your joints, sleep, and energy flow.
It literally changes how your body functions and how your energy feels.

🧠 Your brain can shrink slightly when you’re dehydrated (hello, brain fog and scatterbrain).
⚡ Your nervous system slows down, like your internal Wi-Fi dropping out.
💤 Even your sleep quality suffers — dehydration can raise your heart rate and stop you reaching deep, restorative rest.
💪 Your joints feel tighter, your movements stiffer, and workouts heavier.
💫 And when electrolytes drop, you can feel weak, dizzy, or emotionally flat — even if you’ve been “drinking enough water.”

Hydration isn’t about chugging litres; it’s about balance — water, electrolytes, and awareness.
When your body’s hydrated, your energy flows, your emotions regulate, and your mind clears.
It’s one of the simplest ways to feel more centred and alive.

💧 Save this post as a reminder to tune in to your body’s quiet cues.
✨ Share it with a friend who’s always tired but doesn’t know why.
Because sometimes, the solution is as simple as water — and a little more awareness.

The continual layering of knowledge 🤓 is honestly my favorite pastime.
I’m a proud geek — because learning helps me serve my clients on a profoundly deeper level. And truthfully, I just love learning new things.

I noticed a long time ago that many people would cancel a PT session or skip class because of pain, discomfort, or some niggling ailment. But what they really needed wasn’t rest — it was a damn good stretch to free up their body.

So I decided to add another layer of knowledge around stretching and myofascial release.

The difference now? I can pivot on the spot and give my clients exactly what their body needs in the moment.

Instead of cancelling, we spend 15 minutes stretching, releasing tension, and then get on with the session or class feeling lighter, freer, and ready to move.

It’s the difference between being sidelined by tightness or myofascial gunkiness — and tuning into your body so you can keep working toward your goals.

Because strength and performance aren’t just about slogging your body. It’s about balance — loading and de-loading, strengthening and stretching.

So if your body’s feeling tight, gunky, or restricted (and maybe giving you a bit of grief), hit me up for a stretch session.
I’ll have you feeling like a gooey rag doll who’s just had the best sleep of their life. Ahhh, bliss! 🫠
