Happy Fathers Day to all those Dads out there. A note and a cuddle from my boy was all I needed today.
For all of you lucky enough to still have your Dad with you I hope you enjoyed the day.
For those that aren’t so lucky, I hope you as I did enjoyed some of the memories.

A long weekend with a difference. That’s what the website says. This weekend I’m taking part in the Scottish Islands Peaks race. It’s a classic on the Scottish hill running scene and involves a short run in Oban before sailing to Mull, Jura and Arran. Oh yeah when we get there we need to run up Ben More, The Paps of Jura and Goat Fell (~ 60 miles).
Oban and Ben More done, we are very slowing sailing/ rowing towards Jura.

You cut your finger you know it will heal, you break a bone you know it will heal, but many people think once you have a disc problem it won’t improve.
The evidence says differently.
This study looks at lots of other studies to see what they say and give a more robust answer.

😱 Did you know that disc herniations often heal on their own without surgery?

🔍 A meta-analysis sought to determine what % heal on their own, and how long they take to heal.

A lot of my clients when injured come in confessing that they don't stretch much and think that is the culprit. In fact there is not a lot of evidence to say that stretching reduces running injuries. However, your muscles help absorb the load when you run so keeping them strong and adjusting training load slowly is key to injury prevention.
A good strength program for runners should focus on the key muscle used when running i.e. quads, glutes, hamstrings and calfs.
