We're going to look a little bit today about what is runner's knee. Commonly, this is when you're getting pain at the front of your knee when you're running.

I always like to praise my clients for the accomplishments they achieve, no matter how big or small they are.

A number of my clients this year have wanted to take on new challenges and for them in meant upping the distances they were running to include marathons and ultra-marathons and events.

I'm going to go over why you might want a personal trainer and what's involved in a personal training session, in case you've ever wondered.

It has been a long process and many of you have been involved with the development of the studio, from the early ideas in a note book to the realisation during the summer that I could get my own premises in West Bridgford for a Personal Training Studio.

Now we've up up and running for over a month and the feedback I've had has been amazing.

This is a great question and one that loads of clients ask. 

Its like the holy grail of training, everybody wants to know how long you can Plank for. 

What a busy couple of weeks. last week I took sometime away to spend with my family. We took Monty to Peppa Pig World and went into the New Forest for some exploring. It was great to recharge the batteries and see the excitement on his face as he met Peppa and George and trying out new activities.

How's your training gone this week, I can't believe we're 3 months into the year and race season is nearly upon us.

You might have seen some of my videos last week about me starting training and having a Biomechanics assessment completed by Tiff at Ridefit Academy, if you want to find out more check out some of the videos I've done and if you're looking to be able to move better, drop me a message.

I'm sure most of you want to look and feel good when your racing and taking part in an event.

This week I'm going to tell you a story, all about whether you perceive yourself as being strong or weak.

Over the weekend and epic bunch of ladies took part in The Suffering Race aiming to get LEGEND status.

A few weeks a go I put a video out on Facebook. Did you get a chance to watch it?

How You Can Avoid Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis, also known as jogger's heel is a disorder that results in pain at the bottom of the foot and heel. It derives its names from the plantar fascia, which is the flat band of tissue (ligament) connecting your heel to your toes. When strained, this ligament becomes irritated, swollen and weak, resulting in sharp pain that is experienced in the onset of exercise, or movement after a  prolonged rest period.

Have you seen the videos on my Facebook page from yesterday?

For me this weekend has been lovely, I've been able to spend loads of time with my family.

How many of you have tried the TRX Plank challenge? If you've kept an eye on our Facebook Page you'll have noticed the guys working with me have been up to the challenge this week. Topping the leaderboard at the moment is Trudi with a massive 1min32sec, she's that determined to beat her own score she is going to be joining us on the 6 Week Blast Programme.

Last week I told you all about Cheryl and how she took on her fear of heights at The Obstacle Gym walking across the high beam.

How was your weekend, how many of you were at Tough Guy?

The pictures and videos look good, hearing about people getting stuck in the car park at the end not so good.

One of my clients Cheryl, has been taking part in the 6 Week Blast Programme was there at the weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing her tonight in the session and hearing all about it as well as her showing off her medal to everybody.
