In this episode I talk to Em Heald about the transitions we face in life and how we can navigate them with more fluidity and less resistance. 

The subject matter is Menopause but I feel theres lots to take away from this episode for men too, especially around learning to slow down and go with the flow of the fluctuations of life!

Running at a slow pace is an important part of any runners weekly schedule. Most runners skip aerobic base building. Then hit a plateau with their running as a result.

Aerobic base building allows for slow, steady progression over time. This goes against the fast-paced, access to instant progress modern day life has taught us.

Building an aerobic base helps develop the muscles and systems used in running. It helps to give runners the energy and endurance needed to perform at their peak.

The Runners high! That ‘feel good’ feeling after you've been for a run.

Some say its a myth, others rely on the runners high feeling to keep them coming back for more.

Most runners will agree that running helps boost their mental health. Running gives us mental space as much as physical space. That mental space from the busyness of our daily lives is essential for good health.

Too many people are too stressed in this modern world. Locked inside the restrictive patterns of their own mind. Running is a great remedy to modern living.

In this episode I'm going to explore the science behind running and what it does for our brains.

The evidence is strong! Running does wonders for our brain!

Let's have a look how and why...

Hello,

Just a quick update to explain about the upcoming episode on Monday. This will be the first in a new format of short interviews with inspirational people that we can all learn from. 

This first episode I talk to Danny Radford about the Big Challenges he has faced and the things we can learn from them when facing our own big challenges this year.

In this episode I'm going to get a bit more geeky. I am a self confessed human body nerd!

I love learning about the body, how it moves and how we can improve it. I then love sharing this passion with my clients and anybody that we listen to me haha.

In the last episode we looked at sleepy glutes and how to activate them. In this episode we will be exploring how yoga can help strengthen your glute muscles. This will improve running performance and reduce your injury risk.

Let's get into this episode…

The glutes are an important set of muscles when running. They are part of the hip extensor muscles. The gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus work together to propel you forward.

The gluteal muscles are in the hips and buttocks. They are responsible for a variety of movements, including running. Strong, stable glute muscles are key to maximising your running performance. They also help us avoid many injuries.

Every single client I have ever seen has got some level of inactive glutes. Whether they are completely not firing or not firing as much as they could. Sleepy glutes effect our running form.

In this episode I'm going to go into more detail about the glutes. Why they are so important. What you can do to strengthen yours. And how to switch them on when running.

Let's get into this episode...
