With Sunday racing towards us here are few quick tips to keep in mind these final 4 days before we lace up and take on the beautiful Cotswolds
Rule 1
Pacing Your Body
Normal Pre-Race Tightness… or Pain You Shouldn’t Ignore?
Rule 2
Totally Normal Pre-Race Tightness
Stiffness on both sides (e.g. both calves or quads)
Feels better once you start moving
Low-level (1–3/10) discomfort
Doesn’t change your running form or stride
Often just taper jitters or muscle load.
Rule 3
Warning Signs of Real Pain
Pain in one specific spot (bone or tendon)
Sharp or stabbing sensation
Gets worse as you run, not better
Makes you alter your stride or limp
Still sore the next morning
Rule 4
Quick Rule to Remember
If movement makes it feel looser — carry on.
If movement makes it worse — stop and reassess.
