I am raising money this year by growing my mo and running 60 km over the month of November.

I chose running because this is how I reclaim my mental health. It helps clear my mind whilst at the same time it processes my thoughts, feelings and emotions.

I am taking the little but often approach. I am taking this approach as often the consistency of exercise matters more than the exact number.

CADENCE πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

It is your step rate whilst running. Generally we want a high cadence of 170-180. This may keep you light on your feet and may help with overstriding.

It can be easily monitored on your Garmin.

What is yours?

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ8 Point Hop ExerciseπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

🦡This exercise may be useful for those looking to improve lower limb, hip, knee, ankle, foot control.

🌟Use tape or draw a star shape on the ground at 90 and 45 degrees.

In this instance I am hopping 30cm but as you improved you can hop further.

❗Try to stick the landing without wobbling getting the hip, knee and ankle in general alignment.❗

Repeat clockwise and anti-clockwise.

Give it a shot and see how it feels.

One month until bridge to brisbane! πŸŒ‰πŸ™οΈ

A few patients have come in to have a look at their running form leading up to the classic 10km event. A few tweaks to their form and a running program and they are ready to go! Remember if you haven't started training slowly increasing your distances is the best way to stay healthy and get to the start line.πŸƒ

Sitting, we do a lot of it so I got a stand up desk. Now I can stand up to watch the olympics on my lunch break, without the chair getting in the way of a celebratory dance! πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ πŸ„β€β™€οΈ πŸ€ πŸ•Ί

Patients may feel an improvement in their pain levels when they have the option to stand or sit. Varying your position throughout the day may be helpful.

Some pain may be better with standing, some may be worse.

Come have a chat and see if it might suit your discomfort!

Have you tried a strong finish to a long run? Today was an 1hr 55min (23.77km) run with the last 20 mins near my marathon pace.

Some days runnings about pace.

Exercise means a lot for many people, take it away and we get a bit lost.

Get out and exercise this weekend. If you can’t do what you normally would start small and build up.

The Squat! Why do it? Strong gluteal muscles may be helpful for lower back problems, hip problems, knee problems, even ankle and foot issues. Having strong muscles around the hips may help control the pelvis and lower limb.

Why do I personally do them? I am a runner and want to make my body more resilient and less injury prone. I am also doing rehab for an ongoing tendon issue πŸ˜‰

When would I get people to do squats? πŸ‹οΈThis would vary a lot, and be dependant on the type of problem they come in with and how sore they are. This normally isn’t the first exercise that is prescribed but at some point may help. I have slowly worked up to this over many weeks so expect easier exercises to start to slowly increase strength.

1:41 h | 20.26km | 5:00 pace

Forgot that 5am QLD time is 4am NSW time. A dark and early start to my Sunday πŸŒ™ .Way less humid and lower temps than my last two long runs made a massive difference.

I have shortened my longer runs for the next few weeks as I have been tired and it has been still too hot for my 2hr + runs. These runs I have struggled to recover from leaving me drained for 2-3 days.😴

Remember to pay attention to how you feel.
