Running and resilience

We’re very impressed with Cara this week for sticking with her training despite being exhausted from this year’s National Running Show. She’s done brilliantly, and tells us all about her highs and lows. She discovers that, sometimes, running is brilliant for no particular reason while, at other times, it feels rubbish for no particular reason. 

 

DOMS

She’s dispelled her shin splint fears this week and is instead discovering all about Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness – for which Esther has some sage advice as well as some great post-run stretches for increased mobility. 

 

Plus, a lovely listener shares some tips that get us talking about how best to approach a bear if we ever come across one in Somerset.
