The real risk to kids isn’t strength training.
The risk is unprepared bodies being exposed to high forces in sport.
Sprint.
Jump.
Change direction.
Land.
Those are strength demands whether we train them or not.
Just prepare kids for what sport will ask of them.
Milton Keynes marathon! Not my day today. Bit of a bad back from mile 11. Stopped and started to walk back to start at 14. Had a word with myself and hobbled on for a 2.46. My mate won in his debut mara! I met up with @SteAssent main man Jason.
So I wasn't great but not shit
@andrewwoodroffe I had exactly the same at Manchester today quads at 19k , really struggled from there in. Not had any problems in training. Well done on the time though 👍
Well #LondonMarathon 2:36:56
Pretty heartbroken and this will hurt for some time. Not the time I came for but it’s the time I got.
Quads were completely gone after 20kms and no idea why, possibly the downhills.
Wanted to quit but glad I didn’t. I trained very well but 🤷♂️
Looking forward to Sunday, last marathon was 2017… battled hard for a 3:29.
Hoping to take a decent chunk of time off at @Marathon_Mcr Sunday hopefully something in and around 2:45 👣
Last long one in the @Marathon_Mcr prep. Few miles before then ran Salisbury 10 mile to finish it off. Nice to finish off with some company in the sun ☀️ 👣👣
You’re playing football with the boys when you were a kid. If you score, you go through to the next “round”. If you didn’t score, you were out. What did you call it?
@millsy262@Marathon_Mcr@ScienceinSport It was beautiful day for it, course change so straight back along the sea front rather than the last hill and the big down hill finish.
Step in the right direction towards @Marathon_Mcr Used lumpy Ryde 10 as the back half of this mornings run - Abit of fueling practice too with @ScienceinSport Beta gels
Running to a local 10k this morning @TrailsAndAlesUK race kit underneath. Leggings on top for warmth!! You can download this pic and have it in the 💦bank
Finished off this mornings run with @medinaparkrun Xmas dress edition … almost nabbed 20 mins but Santa’s legs went. Looking forwards to building for @Marathon_Mcr#Marathon
