Which is better for your body, your head and your long-term running health? As the mornings get darker, the pavements get frostier and the weather forecast starts doing that thing where it can’t quite make its mind up… a lot of runners quietly drift indoors. Suddenly the treadmills are busy again. And that usually comes with a question I hear a lot in clinic and the gym: “Is running on a treadmill actually bad for me?” or “Should I just suck it up and get outside?” The honest

January has a habit of making people do daft things. Suddenly, aches that have been bubbling away since autumn get ignored. Old injuries get “pushed through”. And perfectly sensible humans decide the best way to undo December is to absolutely batter themselves  with training. As someone who spends most of January helping people recover  from their “fresh start”, let’s flip the script. This is your permission to approach the new year in a way that: Improves your fitness Respec

Instead of partridges, turtle doves and golden rings, let’s talk about something a bit more useful this Christmas...Your body. Because whether you run, lift, play sport, hit the gym a few times a week or just try to stay active without falling apart — your body has probably been dropping hints all year. Little aches. Recurring stiffness. Niggles that “warm up”. Things you’ve meant to deal with… but haven’t. So consider this your festive rewind. Not a rehab plan. Not a January

If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram at 10pm or maybe on your lunch hour at work, saving 47 different mobility drills, promising yourself “tomorrow I will become a new, pain-free human”…  you’re not alone. And look — there’s nothing wrong with a bit of late-night inspiration. But when it comes to actual injury rehab or performance training, relying on random Instagram or YouTube content is a bit like trying to cook a Sunday roast using 12 different recipe

We’ve all heard it.“You’ve got a weak core.”It’s become one of the most overused (and often misunderstood) phrases in the injury and fitness world. But here’s the truth… For most people, the problem isn’t  that your core is weak — it’s that it’s not doing its job properly. Your core’s not lazy, it’s just a bit confused. Meet Your Real Core Team Your core isn’t just there for six-pack selfies — it’s a team effort. It’s made up of: The deep stabilisers  – diaphragm, pelvic floo

You bend to tie your shoes and there it is again  — that familiar twinge in your back. You freeze, waiting for the full spasm to hit… except it doesn’t. It just nags for a moment, reminding you that something’s “not quite right.” So you start thinking back: What did I do yesterday?   Did I lift wrong?   Have I done it again? Sound familiar? You’re not alone. We’ve been taught to believe that pain automatically means something is damaged . But here’s the truth: pain and damage
