Hi there,
Is it just me, or does the time change feel like a personal attack every year?⏰
At least we’re getting more daylight! And with those little hints of spring popping up, it finally feels like winter is loosening its grip. 🌷☀️
Spring Into Action: 5 Tips for Getting Back to Running
Winter’s over, and the longer days are calling you back to running! But before you dive in, ease back gradually to avoid injury:
- ✅ Check Your Readiness – Not sure if you’re ready? A physiotherapy assessment can catch weaknesses or past injuries before they become a problem.
- 🏃♂️ Ease Into It – Start slow and increase distance/intensity by no more than 10% per week.
- 💪 Strengthen Key Muscles – Strong glutes, core, and legs help prevent injuries. Add squats, lunges, and balance exercises to your routine.
- 👟 Prioritize Form & Footwear – Land softly, maintain good posture, and replace worn-out running shoes.
- 🛑 Listen to Your Body – Soreness is normal, but sharp or lingering pain isn’t. If something feels off, take a rest day—or see a physiotherapist for expert advice.
