You don’t have to

Chicago 🇺🇸 🎀

A few years ago I got chatting to a bloke in the gym, standard stuff really; training, running and definitely how bad Manchester United were at the time

That bloke was Jamie

Somewhere in those chats he told me about his sister and her battle with breast cancer

And as a lot of you will have seen from my stories over the past couple of years
Things didn’t go the way we all wanted

She sadly passed away at just 29

Since then Jamie hasn’t stood still, in fact he’s run, a lot. He’s been on a mission not just raising money butraising awareness

Early detection
Education
And helping tackle secondary spread in both men and women

I’ve helped keep in body moving through the many many miles but now it’s my turn to get stuck in

This October I’ll be running the Chicago marathon

And I’ll be doing it for Against Breast Cancer ❤️

I’m buzzing for this one!

Over the next few months we’re going to be putting together fundraising, events and a few things I think you’ll enjoy getting involved in.

This one’s a bit bigger than just ticking off another marathon,

If you fancy getting behind it in any way
I’d massively appreciate it

More to come soon and many miles to run.

Let’s get to work 👊

I just love running

What an amazing day yesterday was

Thousands of runners each with their own story, their own reason why, each with commitment, grit and determination

Congratulations to everyone out there!

To my clients and friends out there running, a tough day for you all in heat but you should be so proud of yourself 📈

And a massive well done to my wife, first marathon completed with 2 proud little boys watching on and a very proud me!

Running a marathon is extremely difficult, spectating and navigating was far more difficult than I had imagined 😅

Yeah mate you’ve got runners knee, rest up a couple weeks and then crack on, you’ll be fine

Unfortunately that doesn’t work for this one

Pain around the front of your knee that starts as a little ni**le then suddenly stairs feel like a workout

I see this all the time with runners

The mistake most people make is thinking it’s just a “knee problem”

It’s not

Your knee is just the area taking the hit

What actually matters is how well you can control load through the whole system

If your strength or control isn’t quite there yet and you keep pushing mileage, something has to give

That’s usually your knee

The good news

This responds really well to the right rehab

Build strength
Improve control
Manage your running load

You don’t need to stop completely
You just need a smarter plan

If this sounds like you, don’t just push through it and hope

Your future self will thank you

Drop me a message or book in if you want help getting on top of it

Injuries don’t fix injuries by just resting and hoping for the best

Yeah, it might settle things down for a bit
But as soon as you go again, bang, it’s back

Sound familiar?

The truth is most injuries need load
The right load, at the right time, built up gradually

That means getting stronger
That means controlling the movement
That means actually preparing your body for what you’re asking it to do

Not just stretching it and crossing your fingers

Rehab isn’t sexy
It’s not flashy
But it’s what actually works

If you want to stay pain free and keep doing what you enjoy
You’ve got to earn it

That moment, something doesn’t feel quite right

Not bad enough to stop but not normal either

This is where most people get it wrong

1️⃣ Don’t ignore it
It’s not “just tight”
It’s not something to just run off

Pain is information
The earlier you listen, the easier it is to deal with

2️⃣ Modify, don’t just stop (unless it’s bad)
You don’t always need full rest
But you do need to change something

Reduce volume
Drop the intensity
Swap a run for a bike
Adjust the load so it settles, not worsens

3️⃣ Keep things moving (within reason)
Complete rest isn’t always the answer
Gentle movement, controlled loading, and keeping things ticking over can actually help recovery

4️⃣ Check your recent training
Be honest with yourself
Have you ramped things up?
More mileage, more intensity, less recovery?

Injuries rarely come out of nowhere

5️⃣ Get it looked at early
Small problem = quick fix
Leave it weeks now we’re having a different conversation

If you’re unsure, that’s your sign to get some advice

Catching things early keeps you training
Ignoring them keeps you frustrated
