One for all you distance runners out there… why not try introducing a bit of jump rope into your week 🧐

I’ve posted before about the benefits of using skipping as a bridge between injury recovery and a return to running.

This study shows a benefit from skipping as a warm up alternative to improve performance.

“Compared with a control warm-up routine prior to endurance-running training, 10 weeks (2-4 times/wk) of jump rope training, in place of 5 minutes of regular warm-up activities, was effective in improving 3-km time-trial performance, jumping ability, RSI, and arch stiffness in amateur endurance runners. Improvements in RSI and arch stiffness were associated with improvements in 3-km time-trial performance.”

What a great initiative to keep our girls involved in sport. Check out the Big Sister project at Ponteland Leisure Centre 💜

6 in 10 girls who take part say they feel happier, healthier and more resilient💡

Big Sister gives girls aged 9-15 free or discounted gym memberships at all Places Leisure centres in England.

With their membership, girls can also access female-only We Move sessions where they can get active in a judgement-free environment with other girls.

After a successful pilot project in Derbyshire, Norfolk and South Yorkshire, it’s brilliant to see Big Sister rolled out nation-wide so that every girl can experience the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport.

Sign up to Big Sister by dropping in to your local Places Leisure centre or give them a call: https://www.placesleisure.org/find-centre/

It’s a hot topic right now…menopause. If you’re affected check out this great idea from Hummingbird Nutrition, pop along for a cuppa and a chat 😊

A warm, lighthearted space to connect, share, and support each other through the ups and downs of perimenopause and menopause.

I haven’t posted in a while (life is busy right!) but this really jumped out this morning.

Are you struggling with some aches and creaks?
Don’t find a seat, find your strong 💪🏻

At midlife, a lot of people think they have bad joints.

Truth is, their joints just aren’t ready for what they’re asking them to do.

It’s not wear and tear.
It’s undertraining, not overuse.

Build capacity.
Regain control.
Increase your options.

You’re not broken. You’re just not done yet.

It’s not all work! An amazing weekend with an amazing team of girls at the Manchester velodrome🚴🏻

We didn’t come back with the plate this year but we had good food, good company and good fun 😁😁😁
Not to mention beating the Isle of Man national squad hopefuls as they trialled in the tournament 🙌💪🏻
And watching Team GB whizzing around us as we played (very distracting, or at least that was my excuse!) we also weren’t allowed to take pics of them
Thankfully we all came back in one piece this year and there were no injuries 😅
