Running

By Uncategorized 0 Comments

Working this winter to improve my cardiovascular fitness and add some consistent regimented cardio sessions.

Recently becoming ill with flu and developing a chest infection, I was unable to train with weights for a good week.

Instead I took this time to focus on some other training aspects that are easily neglected.

Already after a few short runs I can feel positive transfers back over to my weight training, needing less rest times and overall recovering faster, within and between sessions.

Tally of cardio sessions so far:

  • 18.10.21- run
  • 23.10.21- run
  • 28.10.21- HIIT circuit
  • 30.10.21- run
  • 01.11.21- run
  • 02.11.21- run
  • 03.11.21- run
  • 04.11.21- run

Having a few days off as ankles were becoming a little sore. Working in some extra calf work and stretching in my weight sessions to compensate.

I have worked with a range of client populations in the past. I have helped competitive athletes improve their performance through training and weight loss methods. I have experience with adult populations, drastically improving strength in individuals who are 50+. As well as specialising in manageable training methods for women looking to improve their body shape and reach a variety of manageable fitness goals. Having lived a competitive sporting career myself, I have undergone 7 invasive surgeries, some due to injury. As a result, I have a wealth of information on how to cope with, recover from, and help prevent injuries, restoring the body to a pain free state, and enabling fitness progress to continue no matter the personal issue. I can be of great service providing knowledge and guidance to keep you moving forwards through your fitness journey.
