What a weekend in Isle of Wight! My first Ultra Marathon. Picked up a small injury about 8 weeks ago in my calf. The result of a few things, too much too soon, not recovering properly, and getting inconsistent with my strength training. So, had to adapt… I completed the event by doing walk/run, and reevaluating expectations. The support crew really helped too ☺️

Beautiful route along coastal paths and woodland. Weather was perfect! Grateful to Richard and Michelle Jones for all the tips and advice.

#4 Stretch the soft tissues

Wrap your opposite hand around the wrist and grasp tightly, pulling the skin towards the elbow. Make a fist and perform slow rotations and feel the hand and wrist tissues pull and stretch. It should feel nice! Don’t force it.

#3 Shoulder circles over wrists.
Start with small circular movements and increase depending on tolerance. 3-5 each way. Don’t push into pinching or discomfort.

#2 Wrist flexion

Press into pads of fingers and get light in the wrists. Lift the wrists any amount, try not to stress the finger joints. Sitting further back in the hips will make this more manageable, or more forwards in the hips and shoulders will add intensity. Feel the inside forearms and muscles in hands working.

I wanted to take a moment to highlight how adding mobility and strength training to your routine can further support and amplify the positive outcomes from your therapeutic treatments.
