Overcoming isometrics are a great way to improve max strength, rate of force development and maximise muscle fibre recruitment. They really get your central nervous system fired up. Drive with intent and hold for up to 6s. This calf variation is great for running performance 💪🏼🏃🏼
•
Isometrics can also be done at sub maximal intensity for longer holds for beginners or those looking to improve tendon health.

Global running day 🏃🏼🏃🏻‍♀️
I have been lucky enough for running to become a big part of my life and business over the last 8 years. Running in some fantastic events, meeting great people, collaborating and working with big running and fitness brands, and helping hundreds of runners prepare for events all across the world through my coaching programmes. Long may it continue!

Tips for running in the heat 🏃🏼☀️
- Fuel and hydrate. Water, electrolytes and proper fueling (gels etc) can help.
- Plan your route in advance. This way you can tactically plan your hydration and refuelling. Routes with laps might be better for this, rather then out and back routes.
- Beat the peak heat by running early before sunrise or after sunset.
- Wear appropriate clothing, breathable lightweight running kit.
- Vaseline is your friend (other brands available). Water proof plasters for ni***es, trust me this is a game changer.
- Be realistic with your targets and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Keep your easy runs easy, and if doing speed work, focus on quality over quantity.

Muscle forces during running 💪🏼🏃🏼🏃🏻‍♀️
Multiple times your body weight of force occurs in your muscles whilst running. The faster you run the higher these forces will be, with each muscle contributing differently to load absorption and propulsion.
Strength training is a great way for us to effectively load these muscle groups to support our running performance and reduce injury risk.
Some key areas of strength training to include in your programming are:
- High load, lower rep range exercises
- Plyometrics (jumping, hoping, bounding)
- Unilateral exercises (single leg)
•
Of course progressive overload is key and you must gradually introduce and build this into your programme.

Zahraa recently completed her first marathon at , a huge milestone for any runner. It has been great to see her progress. Here is what Zahraa had to say:
“I’ve done a lot of endurance races, but I was always intimidated by the marathon distance. I worked with Chris for about five months leading up to the Dubai Marathon, and he put together a practical plan that fit around my hectic work and family schedule while still helping me reach my goal. Even when I got sick and missed some important runs, I thought I would never be able to do it. Chris really boosted my confidence when I needed it most and understood exactly where my strengths were. I finally ran my first marathon and it was a very enjoyable experience. At same time, I didn’t feel like I had to sacrifice everything to get there! Thank you Chris.”
•
Well done Zahraa, a great achievement. Onto the next one 😁

Ways to fit strength training into your running schedule 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏼
The key is to find a way that enables you to consistently do your strength work, without it getting forgotten about. This will help to support your running performance and hopefully help you keep injury free.
•
This could be done by:
- Strength on a non-running day
- Strength on a running day 4-8 hours after the run
- Strength on a running day straight after the run
- 15-20 minutes of strength work after multiple runs across a week

Find what works for you!
