Road, footpath, grass or sand?

What surface and why?

Runners use different surfaces for different reasons.

Road running is often used to build speed, a hard surface to push from without a large loss of energy.

Grass is an excellent way to prevent injury and promote strength. Grass provides less pressure and impact going through your body. [Read more…]

Stretching. Guaranteed to make you feel good.

June 30, 2015

Love your stretches

Stretching can help to improve flexibility and range of motion of the muscles and joints. Better flexibility may result in performance improvements and reduce injury.

Many lifestyle factors affect our muscle length including posture, prolonged sitting and weight training.

Because stretching effects your joints and connective tissue, as well as the muscle, caution needs to be taken when starting a stretching program. Consider chronic conditions or injuries which may prevent pain-free stretching (and may actually be causing more harm).

Give us a call on 02 8544 84 84 if you have further questions, or contact your medical practitioner for advice.

Notably, the slower a stretch the more pliable the muscle becomes.
