Cosmo waits as his team Ruff n Ready coordinate the final details for Marton to Wanganui Relay. Doesn't take long for both teams to relax as they await the start. 66.6 kms in front of them, everyone grateful for still fine morning. Fingers crossed the weather remains the full distance as they take on the country roads to Wanganui East and a pre-4pm finish...

Laura and Susan preparing for Marton to Wanganui relay early this morning. Fantastic day for a relay. More pics to come of team Ready and Willing and Ruff n Ready....

So excited to meet Brigid (up from Fairlie South Island) who is joining her sister Lucy of Foxton to complete this event for their 20 year anniversary since they first did this.

What are the chances of catching up with race entry one and race entry three at the same time!!! An all time Event Ready Body first.

Turns out unknowingly Cath and Jacob had the same thought at the same time, entering online just moments after entries opened and a moment apart.

We looked desparately around for race entry 2 for this photo, that would have been fantastic....

Rest well all, race day tomorrow, exciting!

We'll be there tomorrow - hope to see you there.

If you know anyone with questions about their nutrition, we have a 2 pm appointment available this week with nutritionist Friday 28 Jan (tomorrow). There are costs involved and realistically you will usually need two appointments to analyse your current approach, receive solutions and check your results in any areas identified for improvement.

Love the reward of completing an event? Did you say to yourself, "That was fun, next year I'll start training earlier"?

Most of us recognize we do a lot more training when we're registered for an event, bringing with it plenty of additional benefits for our body, including reduced waist line, better sleep, more energy, greater connection and happiness in our daily lives.

This month makes the perfect time to start training for Manawatu Striders - Property Brokers Marathon Half Marathon event.

Why I Still Love Racing at Age 82

Just love this article, love the journey, the honesty, most of all the promise of a changing world for the better -the potential of both a long life and a quality of life.
There is so much to take from the words written, so much we all can learn from all that experience.
I lead a team of sports therapists and everyday we work with dedicated athletes, both recreational and competitive, to assist them to have a body that works and behaves younger.
First that takes a mindset like the one so clearly demonstrated here and then it takes insights constructed into a pathway with clear focus on the future body you want.
Our team and our process advocates a long term athlete development plan, inviting the idea of building a body for the long term. Daily we raise the question, "How do we set the stage for success, maximise the opportunity for this individual to run well today as well as long term?"
To achieve this outcome, requires a change of approach from training event to event, 6 week to 12 week. It requires a longer term strategy, one that looks eyeball to eyeball with the changes we can expect decade by decade in the body.

This approach wasn't always available but it's availabe now. We invite you to ask better questions about how to train long term. Does the training you do now build you the body to last? If not, what changes could you invite?

Now, if we could ask your body the same question, would you get the same answer? Or would your knees or your hips say something different?

Better solutions are built by asking better questions. To explore this further contact Barbara, Cara, Lyss and Olivia, learn more www.eventreadybodies.co.nz/contact

Happy training!

Why I Still Love Racing at Age 82 These days I can break a record while finishing last. Some say they find me inspiring, but I often feel like a decrepit but willing old dog who gets a pat when he tries to chase his ball.

Loving this transformation at Event Ready Bodies. Char frustrated by persistant back injury and with a dream to get into the police force, Char joined ERB late March 2020.
Despite huge uncertainty around when she would be called up for the recruitment, she maintained her mindset and her plan right through the covid lockdowns. Here she is pictured on the track, having mastered her movement, stability, running technique and pace.
With just two weeks notice Char was called up for her physical assessment test and she was ready. Char got her body right, completed the police recruitment process and was selected. She is currently completing the 16 week training with the Royal New Zealand Police College - a dream come true for Char! Huge congrats Char - You're an inspiration to your children, your family and to all of us!
