Fit Well Move

❤️ Build a lifestyle that keeps you doing what you love!

A huge congratulations to .nero2020 on completing the Bristol Sprint Triathlon! 🏅

After building an incredible endurance base through her recent London Marathon training, she took on three events!

🏊 750m swim in Cumberland Basin
🚴 21km cycle along the Portway
🏃 5km run through Hotwells

With the water being a toasty 23°, wetsuits were banned meaning less buoyancy in the water and a tougher swim.

The run route was a slight alteration too due to ravers still going into the early hours 🥳🤪 and taking over the original route! So again the athletes adapted well to the unexpected.

Nadine follows a structured plan that fits around work, family, holidays and adequate rest, building strength, endurance and consistency over time.

Strength training builds resilience and to handle the unexpected when things don’t always go exactly to plan (that’s life!)

🙋‍♀️If you're an active woman who enjoys running, hiking or simply wants to keep saying "yes" to adventures, strength training gives you the foundation to do it with confidence not just for a single event but for all the wonderful years you have to enjoy ahead.

Whether your goal is to simply keep activity consistent in your life, your first 10K, to build muscle, an endurance event or to be more capable for the everyday, you don't need to guess your way there.

Congratulations .nero2020 for running the London Marathon 🎉🪅🎊🏅

A super fun day out for all (I was there cheering too!🤩)

This wonder woman gave herself plenty of time to prepare by putting in the hard work over the few years previous to the event where she…

- Mastered her compound lifts & started heavy strength training

🏋🏼‍♀️ The ability to move well and confidently through patterns like squats, deadlifts, and lunges is important.

- Incorporated single-leg strength & control.

🦵To be stable & strong in movemnts like split squats & step ups (no wobbles 😂) is key.

- Developed posterior chain strength

🍑That includes glutes & hamstrings, aiding an efficient stride even when fatigue hits.

- Improved core strength that actually transfers to running eg anti-rotation, anti-extension strength (planks, carries, dead bugs) to avoid unnecessary energy expenditure.

- Worked on plyometric ability (power + stiffness)
The ability to produce and absorb force i.e. with basic jumps, hops, and bounds. This improves running economy and reduces injury risk when we build the mileage.

- Load tolerance
Working under fatigue with longer circuits, higher-rep strength work, and time-under-tension. 26.2 miles is long!!!!

Having all this under her belt meant that when we approached the four months prior to the London Marathon, she wasn’t starting from scratch but already fit, strong, and ready to actually train, not just survive!

She also practiced:
💧 Hydration strategies
🍽️ Race day nutrition
🔥 Heat exposure in the sauna (one that catches out a lot of runners training through winter and racing in unexpected heat)

All in all, preparation is key and she did a damn good job of building a body that can handle the plan, adapt to the load, and finish with a smile 😃

Huge congratulations to my amazing client for recently completing the Berlin Half Marathon 🇩🇪 and the Paris Marathon 🇫🇷 An incredible achievement built on showing up, week after week, even when it wasn’t easy💪 🏃🏼‍♀️

Who’s next? 👀

'The Big Cheese' trail event with the best race goody bag I've has so far!  A delicious truckle of local cheddar cheese! Very happy with that! 😋

With my cheese coloured shirt 🧀 & appropriate smile 😃 I ran the hilly 15miles in Cheddar last Sunday.  A lovely trail route with a little bit of many elements...wind, rain, shine, hail... Somerset in April! 

A big "acheesement" 🤣 & event I recommend 💯

Made it out on the bike - first ride of the year 😃 🚵‍♀️

Started the day with a calamity of a morning 😵‍💫 but eventually got rolling.....a puncture 10mins in 😣, a swift repair and didn't give up 💪🏼

Watch ⌚️ ran out of battery at lunch time so half the route logged (not that this matters to me) but the day ended well with a much needed exhilarating ride through the lanes to Chew Valley Lake. Looped back up a steep climb and back down Dundry hill to half a Guiness in front of fire at cosy pub to finish.

Day ended well, phew!

Wind in your face, physical exertion and countryside is always a good idea 🤯😀

🏅Congratulations to those that laced up for events over the weekend. 👟 Bath Half Marathon, Hampton Court Half Marathon and Milton Keynes 10k with very pleasing results 🎉

We have some good training markers for those now pushing on with distance, strength & conditioning as they move towards marathons later this year! Exciting stuff 😃
