AS WE GET BACK TO BUILDING UP OUR TRAINING AND RAC AS WE GET BACK TO BUILDING UP OUR TRAINING AND RACES 🥳 WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE LISTEN TO OUR BODIES. CHECK OUT THE GREAT ADVICE FROM OUR TEAM PHYSIO GEMMA🏃‍♀️🇬🇧🇿🇦 . FOLLOW HER ➡️ @therunnerphysio . @therunnerphysio Ever found yourself struggling with niggles, fatigue, illness or anything else above? These are some of the signs that you may be over training, particularly if this is coupled with under fueling too 🤔 . Getting the balance right in training can be difficult because to gain improvements in fitness and performance, we need progression and to be challenged. But this can’t be done in every session and we need to incorporate easy sessions too to help get the balance right on our bodies. We also need adequate recovery (rest, sleep and optimal nutrition) in between sessions to ensure we aren’t over doing it and to get the maximum gains from training. . If you have experienced any of these signs, I have put my blog on signs and consequences of over training in my bio, which I hope you find helpful to read. . Do you always feel you get the balance right in your training and recovery or have you ever struggled with over training before? . . . #overtraining #trainsmart #recovery #trainsmarter #easyrunning #restandrecovery #runninggoals

So when they do, you gotta take them and run!!🤞🏻 🏃‍♂️ . . Not much more to say than a balls to the wall effort it’s going to be! . 7 and a half laps of giving it all I’ve got and leaving nothing out there! . Yes it’s going to be tough. Yes it’s going to hurt. Yes I haven’t pushed myself to these levels for over a year and a half 😅 . But I am ready to give it my best shot and leave nothing out there!! 🎯 . Good luck to all racing 👊🏻 let’s make this opportunity count!! . Event though there’s no supporters allowed on the route, I know there’s lots of people backing me 🙌🏻 appreciate it always and trust me, it hits home! First official marathon representing @best.athletics 🔵⚪️ . Thanks helping me pick my kit 😉 I actually quite like this combo! 🇿🇦 . #gotime #cheshiremarathon #train #race #goals #goaldigger #run #running #fitness #instarunning #training #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #maurten #garminuk #teamrunderwear #premax #africamarathons #runthrough #versussocks #runner #runningcoach #BestAthletics #justalilbester
