Episode 8: Understanding Flexibility and Mobility is out now! Today’s episode is all about mobility and flexibility for runners. We will dive into: -what the difference is between mobility and flexibility, -why it matters to know the difference, -why runners should be training in both mobility and flexibility, -what that training can look like for you. I have also officially launched “The Runner’s Studio” and Maintenance Membership. The runner’s studio is the perfect place for runners to work on their flexibility, mobility, strength, and recovery. The runner’s studio is full of carefully curated yoga inspired classes specifically for runners to allow you to not only elevate your running performance, but also nourish your body. Maybe you feel frustrated that you feel so exhausted while training for a race or that you are on the borderline of injury. Maybe you are overwhelmed by what you should be working on for cross-training and recovery. The Runner’s Studio is for you Imagine being able to take a short 10 minute warm up pre run to ensure your body is warmed up and ready to take on your training. Imagine using strength based classes to help prevent knee, hip, and ankle pain when running. Imagine making recovery a priority with short stretches or longer recovery based classes. Lastly, imagine being able to add in mobility to improve your running for and prevent injuries. You can feel good while training for your next race. The time is now!

BEST ATHLETICISM BOOSTERS Transcendental athleticism routines aim to push physical and mental boundaries, fostering a deep connection between mind and body. Here are five top routines: 1. **Flow Yoga**: Incorporating dynamic sequences and breath work, Flow Yoga enhances flexibility, strength, and mental focus, leading to a state of flow where movement becomes effortless and meditative. 2. **Parkour**: This discipline emphasizes fluid movement through urban environments, requiring spatial awareness, agility, and adaptability. Parkour challenges participants to overcome obstacles creatively, fostering a deep sense of freedom and self-expression. 3. **Capoeira**: Combining elements of martial arts, dance, and music, Capoeira is a Brazilian practice that promotes strength, flexibility, and coordination. Its fluid, acrobatic movements encourage improvisation and teamwork while cultivating a strong mind-body connection. 4. **Trail Running**: Running in natural landscapes not only builds cardiovascular endurance but also engages the senses and promotes mindfulness. Negotiating varied terrain demands focus and adaptability, fostering mental resilience and a profound connection with nature. 5. **Gymnastics Strength Training**: This routine combines bodyweight exercises, mobility drills, and skill work to develop strength, flexibility, and body control. Gymnastics training challenges individuals to master advanced movements like handstands, muscle-ups, and levers, pushing physical and mental boundaries in the process. #Athletics #Fitness #SportsPerformance #Training #StrengthTraining #Endurance #AthleteLife #SportScience #ExerciseScience #PeakPerformance #AthleticTraining #SportsMedicine #WorkoutMotivation #HealthyLifestyle #FitnessGoals #MindBodyFitness #Nutrition #SportPsychology #FitnessProfessional #AthleteDevelopment

#salesleaders #sales #habits Ever wondered about the timeframe needed to establish new habits? Let me share a quick story: Back in the late 80s, my secondary school PE teacher aimed to boost my long-distance running performance. She insisted that regular yoga stretching was the key, emphasising its role in enhancing flexibility and muscle strength. Her instruction was clear: commit to stretching my legs daily before and after a run for 28 consecutive days, making sure I visualise the locations and exercises. Initially daunting, she cleverly suggested integrating the stretches into my running routine, both at the beginning and end of each trail run. I gradually adopted this approach, unknowingly practicing what is now termed "habit stacking" and embracing the concept of "incremental gains." After just a few weeks, the habit of stretching before and after runs became second nature, seamlessly woven into my running regime. What approach do you take to implement habit change successfully?

Are you a woman looking to kickstart your running in 2024? 💫 Last October, I started a Substack called “What Are You Running Towards?” which has since developed into a weekly newsletter about my gentle running schedule, personal experiences with diet culture, and different takes on the latest running trends. 📰 Here’s how you can start your running journey:  🏃♀️ Go out with ease; aim to keep a pace where you can hold a conversation. 🏃♀️ Already running but not seeing any increase in speed? Include speed/interval sessions!  🏃♀️ Afraid to take rest days? Include yoga & stretching in your routine for better recovery. Wanna dive deeper?! 🏊♀️ Head to the link in the comments to sign up to my substack; I’ll be sending out a free weekly planner this Friday with a sample running schedule and tips to get you running with ease 😊 🌬 #Substack #WomensHealth #Running

Today is Global Running Day. Are you not a runner? No worries, we got you covered. Here are our top tips to move more: - Incorporate movement into your daily routine: take the stairs or bike - Make it fun, turn up the music while you clean the house - Take breaks from sitting, walk while being on that call - Schedule workouts, and stick to your commitment - Use technology, there are many free apps to try a new way to move, like yoga or stretches - Socialise with active friends and go for a walk instead of a coffee (or both) - Set up a home workout space so you can actually squeeze in a short workout - Mix up your routine, for example try Class Pass to have a taster of new gyms and exercises - Listen to your body: take a rest when needed #womenshealth #bywomenforwomen #womensupportingwomen #thebodyretreat

If work is your priority, your health should be too. Low impact exercise like Pilates is easy to fit into your work day. Taking two lunch breaks during the week to get in a workout can help you return to work refreshed. Pilates is proven to boost your energy and reduce stress so you’ll have better focus and be more productive to finish out your day. Over time you’ll notice in addition to building strength and flexibility you’ll improve your posture and it can alleviate back pain. Make yourself a priority. You’re worth it. #selfimprovement  #consistency  #worklifebalance
