Having a routine is essential for me. Otherwise, I just stay in bed! I like to start with a big glass of water to get ready for my workout. Skin protection is just as important for runners (and everyone) as injury prevention! I love this @freskincare glowme+ for my everyday look. With sunscreen and a light tint, it is all the makeup I wear these days! - 3-in-1, Moisturizer + natural tint + Mineral SPF - You can work out with Glow (it doesn’t clog pores) - 2 shades - universal tint After that I head outside and get in Nigel's walk and sometimes run after that since he isn't ready to start running yet. Mobility work and strength training after my walk and/or run! Then it is time to get ready for the day! What routine do you rely on to keep things consistent and motivated in the mornings? #morningroutine #runnersroutine #runner #injuryprevention #skincare

💥Foam Rolling for Runners - The truth💥 Foam rolling is another widely known tool that is used nowadays widespread across both the athletic & non-athletic population. I see it being recommended all the time for runners and I was a clinician that used to recommend it regularly too. But what is the benefit of it? It is mainly promoted and taught based on the notion that it can lengthen/release fascia, break down adhesions, and/or tear up scar tissue. The problem is that it is all of these claims are false both from a biological & physiological standpoint. Furthermore, research has repeatedly shown that its effects on both performance and recovery are minor and partly negligible. So, does it feel good to use? I think so. But does foam rolling have any true benefits for runners? not really according to the research. Pre-rolling or rolling before you run is great to increase blood flow and help you warm up. However, there still is little evidence that there is a benefit of doing this over a traditional warm-up. My recommendation would be to do both if you are dead set on using the foam roller. More to come on this as more research comes out!! Just remember the research as of yet does not show any harm in using a foam roller it just doesn't give a lot of benefit as some have claimed it to!

Hi!! Just a little bit about me for all the new faces!! Follow along for injury prevention tips and tools! #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #runner #runningmom #goldendoodle #doodlepuppy #dogrunning #InjuryPrevention

You can't just go back to running like nothing happened. You will get hurt again. This is where the traditional PT model fails runners. Most don't know or don't have the time/ability to guide runners back to running. But I do. I have a 10 week program for injured runners to follow to get back to running after injury. It combines mobility, strength, stability, and a graduated running program. It might seem slow to some but it is intentionally slow. You have to slowly add the stress of running back to your body to prevent injury recurrence. Comment "return" to get the program today!! #InjuredRunnerNoMore #injuryprevention #runningpain #runninginjury #returntorunning #startrunning

Just gonna leave this here. While in no way a substitute for mental healthcare and therapy. Running does help. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #anxiousrunner #anxiety #depressionhelp #stressrelief #stressmanagement #run #runningbenefits

Instead You start training your core to stabilize functionally Why? Because this is how your core actually works. It makes you a stronger runner and uses your core muscles in a functional way. These core stabilizing exercises keep your torso upright and enable you to run with better support. Making it easier to breath and preserves energy that you would otherwise spend wobbling all over the place!. #core #corestrength #corestability #runnerswholift #runnersstrength #runnersabs #RunStrong

Keep it simple. Strength training doesn't have to be complicated. If you don't know where to start or if you don't have any equipment body weight is 👑. Master these exercises first and then you will be golden!! 1. Standard push up 2. Unsupported dip 3. Deep squats 4. Hip bridge 5. Pull-up/Australian row Most of you won't be able to do these yet, and that's okay! Comment waitlist if you want my new build the basics program that is coming soon! It will build you up to be able to master these and set you up for a lifetime of strength! #strengthtrainingforrunners #calisthenics #calisthenicsforrunners #running #runningstrength #bodyweight #bodyweightstrength

Injuries can be stopped in their tracks! But early detection and treatment are key to keeping them from detailing your progress! 1. Stop and assess when and where it presents 2. Modify your running and workouts to stay below a 3/10 pain 3. Start adding in targeted mobility and strength training that is injury specific. Not sure what your injury is to do injury specific work?
