In the coming months, the football and rugby seasons will end. The boots disappear, and the whites emerge. Are you ready for the new season?
The London marathon last weekend will result in more of you pounding the streets. Some of you might even start preparing for the Race For Life events. It’s time to prepare and ready your body, and it’s not just elite athletes who need to do this. Oh no, it’s folks just like you and me.
Of course, there are the obvious ways to get ready, including checking your footwear. It’s recommended that runners completing five three-mile runs a week change their trainers every six months. Check your footwear before you start; it should provide comfort and support for your chosen sport.
Old injuries, aches, and pains can really hold you back, or worse, result in you giving up before you even start. If you’re concerned about a health condition, schedule a check-up with your doctor. For all other aches and pains—you guessed it—come and see us.
