Welcome to second week of Run Club! The first week was a rainy, fun success and I’m so pumped for everyone that’s starting out. It’s normal to feel a little sore, but please message me if you have any concerns or aches that last more than 1-2 days.

It’s here!! Start of fall 2019 run club 

I am so stoked for this club to start, it’s a perfect combo of all my favourite things (fitness, running, welcoming community, the outdoors). I thought I would blog/post about it, so that anyone who wants to join along can.

Common problems runners can run into (HA) are knee pain, shin splints, back pain, etc. If you are having these issues, please get assessed by your friendly neighbourhood physiotherapist. Here are a couple general tips I tell people to minimize pain while running, beginning with adjusting your stride.

Hello again friends, welcome to part 2 of the running blog! The best part of the running program I previously posted (Running Series Part 1: How to Become a Runner and Actually Love It) is the fact that it’s relatively safe for anyone to just start. That being said, I think a good biomechanical (how your body moves) assessment is always a great idea before starting any new fitness program. An assessment performed by a physiotherapist will give you as the patient a good idea of your own body, and insight into any injuries that you may be predisposed to.

This isn’t just a case of being in shape or not being in shape. There are some beginner mistakes that occur with running that I will address, and hopefully will convince whoever reads this to a) give running a try b) attempt this new physical feat injury free, and c) learn to love it.
