It’s fantastic to look up to people who have achieved great things, but remember their journey has been different to yours, don’t be self critical about where you are now. Also, don’t believe everything you see on social media! You don’t know what someone’s agenda may be.

I’ve posted before about the benefits of using skipping as a bridge between injury recovery and a return to running. This study shows a benefit from skipping as a warm up alternative to improve performance. “Compared with a control warm-up routine prior to endurance-running

There’s a legacy in healthcare to try and label every injury and episode of pain. We can of course do this in many cases, But unfortunately it’s not always that simple. Sometimes we can never really diagnose exactly what’s going on. We can narrow our focus to a couple of

It’s so common to see people trying to replicate the training and rehab of others. Sometimes this can work well, other times it leads to frustration and a lack of success. Themes of course apply to all, but nuance and context is always needed for the individual.

I’m a big fan of the trap bar / Hex bar. It’s great for beginners..... It’s great for going heavy....... It’s great for building confidence in lifting.. It’s a little bit more forgiving that a barbell....

The “Weekend Warrior”- not the ideal approach but maybe ideal for many. Here’s the big mistake I see people make who train the majority of their weekly volume on the weekend. 🎬📆

Here’s a question I like endurance athletes (or any patients for that case) to ask themselves. Now it may seem like a strange question for a couple of reasons.....surely the therapist knows what I’m getting so why should I ask the question myself? And aren’t they the same

We’ve all heard the lines: “Running is bad for your knees” and “don’t run if you have knee arthritis, it will make them worse”. Many people heed this advice and stop. Of course we see people who do struggle to run due to knee pain from Osteoarthritis and avoid it. But that

🎬Here’s a super under utilised and under used exercise that packs lots of bang for your buck whether in rehab or training. Easy access, easy to progress, the simple side step down/up. Stop over complicating exercise and rehab. Simple over sexy. I’m a much bigger fan of the

Common theme in recent weeks where patients are assuming a muscle “tightness” issue as the cause of their problem. Often it’s not the case. Here’s an old video explaining more. fb.watch/92ddJIj8Ww/

I’m often asked “how long should my brick sessions be?, and what split of bike to run should they be?”. Although there may be some nuance on occasion that would need a specific ratio or approach for a specific athlete, you won’t go far wrong sticking to a simple 2:1 bike to run

Frustrating few weeks in clinic fighting some of the long standing myths that continue to persist largely due to therapists continuing to spout these silly narratives. I really wish therapists and coaches would stop fear mongering by telling healthy people their “glutes don’t

About to start hitting the Open Water? Hoping to transfer good pool volume directly to the lake or sea?. Developing your sighting skills are crucial. So crucial that you shouldn’t wait to practise in open water. Start by including some drills in the pool. Try 4 x 50m

It’s that time of year when many of us look to enjoy some beach running. Running on sand is hard though, many get sucked in that soft surface running is easier on the joints, but mid the fact that it’s very demanding on the soft tissue structures. I see a spike in achilles,

Great catch up with some therapists I mentor this week. Prescription/progression of rehab came up in debate. Generally, I think we change exercises that work too often & regress/alter those that aggravate more than we need to at times. We also overthink it way too much!
