Runners Reset with ultra runner 👊🏻

Former GB Age Group athlete, European Long Distance Champion and Ironman World Championship competitor, now making serious waves in ultra running with wins at Winter Downs 100 and South Coast Ultra 100km.

Supported by , he's now setting his sights on the South Downs Way 100 ⛰️

I'm glad I could play a small part in helping keep you in the best possible condition heading into race day. Two sessions down, one more to go, then it's time to trust the training and take on the South Downs Way 100.

Lets go ! 💪🏻

Global Running Day feels like the perfect time to share this one. 🏃‍♂️

When I got my London Marathon place, I had just 12 weeks' notice.

In reality, I only managed around 8 weeks of proper training. I picked up two injuries along the way, never ran further than 20km in training, and had never run beyond a half marathon before.

On race day, I stood on the start line alone. No support crew. No familiar faces in the crowd. Just 26.2 miles between me and the finish line.

There were plenty of physical battles and even more mental ones, but I kept putting one foot in front of the other.

4 hours 23 minutes later, I crossed the line with a medal around my neck and a huge sense of pride.

London Marathon taught me that you don't always need the perfect preparation, perfect conditions, or perfect circumstances. Sometimes you just need to keep moving forward.

Happy Global Running Day. 👊

Pain on the inside of the knee during or after running? 🏃‍♂️

Medial (inner) knee pain is common in runners but it’s not always just a “knee problem”.

Often the body is compensating for:
• poor hip control
• overpronation
• tight calves/hamstrings
• increased training load
• quadriceps tightness

Ignoring it and continuing to push through can eventually affect:
⚠️ running performance
⚠️ recovery
⚠️ movement quality
⚠️ long-term comfort

The goal is to identify WHY the irritation is building, not just temporarily calm the pain down.

Cupping along the sole, heel, and arch

Shin splints – when your stride changes due to tight feet, the lower leg muscles work harder than they should.

Knee pain – poor foot mechanics affect alignment, straining the knees.

Hip and lower back pain – tension and misalignment in the feet can shift posture and gait, creating a chain reaction of stress further up the body.

Not just for athletes! Sports massage is for anyone with muscle tension, aches, or posture-related discomfort.

Neck and shoulder work is one of the most popular treatments I provide and clients often feel relief straight away

Actually going to miss these outdoor treatments ✌🏻
