I love this page, not for the queasy amongst you though.

Thought I’d share this as I have a few friends, and clients, with grumbling Achilles at the moment 😬

After a relaxed August, September has come along on turbo charge! Busy busy now the holiday season is over, and it’s been great to welcome a few new clients to my massage couch too.

Huge congratulations to my client Ant Cocker on taking both third male AND first male vet 50 at the Hardmoors 60 yesterday, it’s been fantastic working with Ant since meeting him at last year’s race, and I’m so chuffed to see his hard work over the year massively pay off. It was also a treat to get my hands on winner Stephen Kirk’s pins too!

After working on these speedsters however, the oils went away as it really needed to be all hands on deck to look after the soaking, freezing and starving runners - the conditions on those cliff tops were truly hideous. I think we set a new world record for number of cups of tea made in one night! Highest DNF rate in HM60 history.

As I didn’t crawl into bed til 4:30 this morning, I’m treating myself to a slow Sunday…..😴😴😴

Congratulations to all runners whether you finished or not, not just the HM60 but the Ranger Ultras Yorkshire Three Peaks Ultra, the Pilgrim’s Ultras Race Across Wales, and the Peak Challenge Gold Ultra - to name just a few!

HUGE good luck to all my friends and clients running the mighty Lakeland 100 today (and tomorrow, and Sunday!) and Lakeland 50 tomorrow. Have the best, best time. Looking forward to taking care of you 100 runners at the Dockray checkpoint with the rest of the Hardmoors crew ❤️💪

Happy Monday everyone, hope the weekend was kind! I had a blast soothing weary legs on Saturday night at the finish of the Hardwolds 40 (um actually 47 miles!) in Malton. Lovely to see my regular clients, and welcome new ones to the massage couch.

Huge congratulations to my client Ant on coming third overall and first vet 50. So chuffed for you Ant! 🥳🥳

What a great couple of weeks off that was! Starting with completing the Montane Summer Spine Challenger North 160 mile foot race along the Pennine Way, and finishing up with a few nights away with my friend Jo and our boys to Corfu as a post GCSE celebration. And we brought the weather back with us - you’re welcome!

I am fully booked this week, but have some availability next. I am away again the week of the 14th (yes I know! Like Judith Chalmers!) for Mr B’s big birthday. But at least my school summer holiday availability is good this year as I think we are holidayed out !

Love Meghan’s posts. Her strength is simply incredible! Worth following if you are a runner who needs running specific strength exercises.

Basically, barely any! I’m fully booked next week. I have a couple of day time slots left Monday 9th or Wednesday 11th, for my regular clients only, then I’m away for two weeks. If you would like an appointment on those days please message, otherwise see you in July.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend ❤️

Today’s office boasted the finest view in England, and it wasn’t of my massage couch!

Hot hot hot for today’s Hardmoors White Horse marathon/half marathon/ten k races where I was based offering event massage to some very dusty, sweaty legs. It was also the Rob Burrows Leeds marathon ❤️ Huge congratulations to all of my clients and friends who ran in both events, tough day for running despite the gorgeous views.

My son 🙄 so proud 🤣

Mine is the one on the left, at school leavers dress up day (Breaking Bad if you can’t tell). GCSEs start on Monday! Please please cancel your appointment with me if you have any summer cold or virus symptoms over the next few weeks, no charge! Those summer bugs seem to be staring to do the rounds, and this boy has college to get into!

Happy weekend folks. Sadly NOT a bank holiday this time 😭
