Sometimes it’s not about doing more, but going back to the basics and fundamentals of running.
Tight hips/legs = restricted movement = less efficient running
I’ve started integrating 1-2 mobility/stretching sessions a week into my routine and it’s made such a difference in how I feel runs 👀🏃🏼♀️

HOT TIP - Chuck a foam roller under your desk. A 5 minute release at lunch time will save you a HEAP of aches and pains at 5pm 🤌🏽

Long day at the desk? This is what you need 👇🏽
Foam Roller Thoracic Extensions - 3 x 8-10 reps
These are the BEST for restoring extension through the upper spine. This pulls you out of rounded posture, improves breathing, and helps your shoulders move the way they’re meant to.
HOT TIP - Pop the roller under your work desk for a quick lunch time release. Thank us later ✨

Sore heels? SAVE THESE 👇🏽
Rolling sole of foot (3-5 mins daily) - Move from just below the heel to the ball of the foot with moderate pressure.
Plantarfascia stretch (3 x 20 sec daily) - Extend big toe against wall, keep heel flat on ground and slowly bend knee towards the wall.

At your desk all day? 😭 Do this in your lunch break 👇🏽
Thoracic Extensions - 3 x 8-10 reps
Restore extension through the upper spine.
This pulls you out of rounded posture, improves breathing, and helps your shoulders move the way they’re meant to - so training and everyday movement feels easier.
Let us know how it feels! 😮💨

ROUNDED SHOULDERS? You’ll have tight pecs 👇🏽
Our Pec muscle shortens when our shoulders are rounded for prolonged periods. Alongside thoracic foam rolling and stretching, releasing our pec muscle with a massage ball is a great way to help this!
Find the muscle just below your collar bone. Slowly roll the ball up and down, side to side through the tight muscle bulk. If you’d like a deeper release, you can do the same movement on the ground!
SAVE this video and try next time you have a long day of sitting at the desk!
