Sometimes you have to look at what you can do and can control rather than what you can’t 🤔

So this week I made the decision to pull out of Manchester marathon. During the Liverpool half last week, I started with hip pain again around mile 7 🙄

My only reasoning for wanting to do the marathon again was to better my time after going through hell last year (IYKYK 🙈) but after last week, it doesn’t look like my body is ready for it even after feeling ok increasing the miles in training 🏃‍♀️ and I’m ok with that

Does this mean I’ve done anything wrong in rehab? No, it just means my body needs a bit more time to get stronger and it’s absolutely the right decision for me❗️

I’ve listened to how my body has reacted and I’ve not let my ego / image / peoples opinions / pressure to do these get in the way of that as it’s sometimes easy to do when it seems every person on instagram is running races these days 🥇

Now the decision is made and I’ve had a few days rest, I’ll lessen the load by doing shorter miles, focusing on rehab and maybe enter some shorter distance events 😊 💪

From the dance floor last night to a rainy Liverpool this morning for the half marathon 💃 🏃‍♀️

Not sure I enjoyed that one… hilly and windy with another little hip ni**le from Mile 8 😴 felt good until then though and happy to dip under 2 hours again ☺️

Followed by few glasses of my favourite wine thanks

Well done everyone today… PS. I’d love to be one of them people who got nice race photos 🙈😬😳 safe to say I won’t be buying them!

Today is probably up there with one of the best days of my life 😍

When I was working in my other job alongside this doing 12-14 hour days, someone I worked with at the time said “what would you be doing if you wasn’t in here working today” I told her I’d be out running!

And I’ve just finished 14 miles in amazing February sun ☀️

I’ve done the school run, got myself a coffee from the coffee shop 😍, done some cleaning / washing, worked for a few hours and then went out and done my run

I absolutely love what I do and get to do and it’s all thanks to my amazing clients so thank you!! ❤️

🌟 Some Exciting News 🌟

So last week I enrolled on a new course to become a BIOMECHANICS COACH 🤸‍♂️

Over the past few years, I’ve become more interested in movement patterns in my job role and why people come in with the problems they do. To say “this is tight” or “something is compensating” isn’t really the answer we need to prevent things reoccurring!

The course will allow me to properly assess movement patterns to gain a better understanding of what’s going on within the body and offer a much better service to you all ❤️

Can’t wait to get started this week 🤓

How many times have you heard these comments when telling people you are going for a sports massage ❓

“Oh that will be nice”
“How lovely”
“Enjoy”

Or how many times have you almost put it off as it feels like you’re treating yourself to something luxurious ❓ I’ve definitely been there with that one myself! 👀

A lot of clients I treat are training for Ironman events, they run businesses whilst taking care of families, they are training for marathons whilst holding down full time jobs whilst taking care of families, they have 1 hour commutes before working full time to come back and still be present with the kids, they show up daily for their business despite the demands placed on their body… it is normalised now for us all to lead such busy lifestyles and I know how it feels! 🏃‍♀️ 🤯

Our bodies are being put through a lot and if sports massage is something that helps us keep going and show up… this should be seen as a necessity rather than indulgent self care! 🙌

🏃‍♂️ New to running or exercise in the new year? The biggest mistake I see isn’t bad shoes…

It’s doing too much, too soon
Your heart and lungs adapt quickly
Your muscles take a little longer
Your tendons, bones, and joints take even longer

That’s why so many new runners feel great to start with then suddenly end up with shin pain, Achilles issues, knee pain, or plantar fascia pain

If you’re new to running:
✔ Start slow
✔ Increase distance or time gradually (not everything at once)
✔ Include walk breaks if needed
✔ Remember your rest days, ideally at least 24 hours between each session
