PACE

I had my first session with the movement PT today and it was really good. He did a few different assessments and said the arches of my feet are stuck they don’t move at all which would be putting a lot of force up through my body when I run. He also said my glutes aren’t lengthening at all so a lot of the glute strength work I’ve been doing won’t have had much impact because my glutes are lazy and all the effort is coming from my back. He gave me one stretch to do which has instantly started to release the knotted feeling I’ve had in my back. I got out with HR this evening and felt significantly better than I did on Saturday. I stuck with Karl for most of the run. We’re quite a good match pace wise and said we should probably run some races together to push each other. We’re both guilty of letting out heads get the better of us so might be able to pull each other through in a race situation. Made it out with HR group

That’s really interesting. Did he explain how you can resolve those issues when you run? But that’s really positive news that just one stretch made you feel much better. I will definitely bear that in mind about Karl as well and what I will try to do going forward is potentially team you up on some sessions if that is possible. Those horrible 3 x 3 miles or some some big 10k sessions in the future. I know he’s quite flexible from a work perspective so might be able to join you when you are free.
