Adding this to things I wish I knew before race day 😅

My vest absolutely wrecked my collarbones over the marathon

Sweat + friction + 26.2 miles = not ideal

This is something I see a lot as a physio — especially with vests, sports bras and seams

It’s common, but there’s a lot you can do to reduce it
(planning kit, anti-chafe, fit matters more than you think - I didn’t tighten mine up enough and it was bouncing around far too much 🤦‍♀️).

Learn from me on this one 👍

3:33 and honestly… it was hard

The last 8k my calves were cramping, I ran out of water, and had to dig deep.

But these are the things that actually got me through.

The crowds
Other runners
Seeing my family
Even a slice of orange from the side of the road

That’s the bit you don’t see in a finish line photo 🤍

But also — as a physio — I see how much the non-physical side matters on race day.

Leaking when you run?
You are definitely not the only one.

And no… it’s not just because your pelvic floor is “weak”.

This is one of the biggest myths I see — women being told to just “do their Kegels” and hope for the best.
But leaking during running is usually a mix of:

• how you’re breathing
• how much load your body is handling
• how your pelvic floor is coordinating (not just how strong it is)
• your running mechanics

Sometimes the pelvic floor is actually overactive and not letting go properly… which can make things worse.

The good news?
👉 This is very treatable.

You don’t have to avoid running, wear a pad forever, or just “put up with it”.

If you’re currently training and noticing leaking — take it as a sign your body needs a bit more support, not that you need to stop.

Head to the link in my bio to book in with me.

3:33 🤍

Not the smooth race I imagined…
but one I’ll remember for a long time

The support, the crowds, other runners — that’s what got me through.

4 days to go…just trusting the process now.
