Hi lovely people 🤍
A little life + business update from me — especially for my active women, runners, lifters, OCR athletes, and anyone juggling training with those annoying niggles.
For over a year I’ve been dealing with a stubborn injury. Between yoga teaching and racing the Spartan series last summer, I didn’t give it the rest it needed. I pushed hard, it paid off (2nd in the National Series + selected for the team again this year)… but the cost was big.
Because I pushed through, I’ve missed my favourite winter thing:
flouncing around the mountains as a fell runner.
A literal pain in the ass has meant no fast running, no hill work, and sitting has been… interesting.
But over the last month, after a run of lurgies, I finally committed to a proper rehab plan:
small, consistent mileage, strength work, activation, and eccentric loading to get the tendon repairing properly this time.
Moral of the story:
If you ignore your injuries for short‑term gratification or long‑term goals… you will pay for it.
And if mountain running feeds your soul like it does mine, you’ll feel it.
For my active females…
If you’re training hard, feeling niggles, or wanting to level up without breaking yourself, my health coaching for active women might be a great fit.
I help women build strength, resilience, and performance while managing or avoiding injuries — especially runners, OCR athletes, lifters, and busy women balancing life + training.
If you want to chat, you can book a free 15‑minute triage call via the link in my bio.
For my Shropshire people…
My mobile sports massage appointments (Shrewsbury + surrounding areas) are open, and new clients get 10% off their first session.
Codes are in my bio — just scroll to the massage section.
Thank you as always for the support 🤍
