Tuesdays are for challenges and first up it’s the Plank challenge with Ellie + Liv 🔥

Safe to say… core = cooked 🥵

45s on, 15s off — get your timer at the ready!

Here’s what we tackled:
1️⃣ Forearm plank�• Elbows under shoulders�• Core braced, no sagging hips�• Think “long line” from head to heels

2️⃣ Sraight arm to Forearm�• Minimise hip sway�• Move with control, not speed�• Keep shoulders stacked

3️⃣ Plank hip dips�• Controlled rotation through the hips�• Don’t rush it�• Keep core engaged throughout

4️⃣ Single Leg Lifts�• Hips stay level�• Small lift — no arching your back�• Glutes + core working together

5️⃣ Side Plank (R)�6️⃣ Side Plank (L)�• Elbow under shoulder�• Hips lifted�• Straight line head → feet

7️⃣ Slow Mountain Climbers�• Drive knees in slowly across your body�• Keep shoulders over hands�• Core tight, no bouncing

8️⃣ Plank Jacks�• Light on your feet�• Keep hips stable

9️⃣ High plank with hip dip and feed (R)�🔟 High plank with hip dip and feed (L)�• Rotate through your upper body�• Control the movement

Core strength = everything… and we definitely felt it after this one 😅

Run day 🏃‍♀️✨

No rules, no pressure — just movement.

Today’s goal: get out, get it done, however that looks for YOU.�• Short and steady�• Long and slow�• Intervals if you’re feeling spicy 🌶️

Coaching tips:�• Relax your shoulders�• Keep your stride light�• Breathe rhythmically (you shouldn’t feel like you’re gasping!)

This challenge isn’t about distance — it’s about showing up 🙌

Lower body 🔥 Let’s gooo
Strength day 1 of the April Challenge and its Lower Body Strength!

Here are the exercises with some tips on the form:
1️⃣ Has Hip Thrusts (3 sets of 8 reps)
• Drive through your heels
• Chin tucked, ribs down
• Squeeze glutes hard at the top (no overextending your lower back, tuck your pelvis in!)

2️⃣ Sumo Squats (3 sets of 10 reps)
• Wide stance, toes slightly turned out
• Knees track over toes
• Sit DOWN into your heels, not forward

3️⃣ B-stance RDLs (3 sets of 7 reps per leg)
• Front foot doing most of the work
• Hips back, slight bend in both knees
• Keep the weight close + spine neutral (no rounding!)

4️⃣ Split squats (3 sets of 8 reps per leg)
• Step far enough to keep your front knee stacked over your ankle.
• Pressure through the toes of your front foot

5️⃣ Wall Sit (2 x 45 seconds)
• Knees at 90°
• Lower back pressed into the wall

For all the exercises, if you don’t have access to weights, find something with a bit of weight that you can hold from around the house!

Consistency > perfection this month. Show up, move well, get stronger 🙌

⭐️Client Testimonial⭐️

Amy had been battling with a calf injury that had prevented her from doing what she loves… Running🏃🏼‍♀️

After a long time of trying rest & alternative treatments Amy got in touch with IRC for help🤗

We are thrilled to have treated, strength rehabbed & prescribed a return to running protocol for Amy, who in following to the letter, successfully completed her first 10km race post injury🎉

Well done Amy👏🏼

Run with me to see all the different terrains I encounter on my 15km long run🏃🏼‍♀️

Today’s long run was fabulous, the sun was shining☀️, the birds were singing🎶 and the spaniels were running free🐾

I’m feeling strong and the legs🦵🏼and lungs🫁 are adapting well to the training load✨

Isn’t it interesting to see how many different surfaces I run on just to log 15km👟

Altering terrains can really benefit fitness & progress when training for endurance events. The demands it places on the body, to cope with the differing footings, all help to build up strength and stability in the lower limb, improving your chances of staying injury free🤞🏼

Plus, running in the British countryside on a day like today really is so wonderful🌳
