Training with an injury
The key to coming back from an injury should not be a passive approach (sit around and hope for it to get better). Although that being said there are definitely moments where passive modalities can help ease symptoms but if we don’t incorporate the active components then we are missing the overall big picture of returning from injury.

Caffeine: Elixir of Life, or Jitter Inducing Foe?! - by Dr. Sinead Roberts
Caffeine certainly has a weight of evidence to support its claim to enhance athletic performance. Indeed, it is one of few supplements we can claim with relative confidence as ‘proven’. Carbohydrates, protein, and creatine are others. But even so, this does not mean we should knock it back ad libitum … there are limits to its capacity, as well as potential downsides and doping (yes really!) factors to consider.

Want to improve your running?
Many of us feel like we don’t fit the stereotype of what a runner looks or acts like. We belittle ourselves for years of inactivity or worry that we will fail if we try. As a result you don’t like running.
Stop avoiding running and start working on an elementary movement in life. To help you to get going we are organising a trial run on Sunday 28th of April. The run will start and end at the box taking you around the countryside.

Warming Chicken Stew (Serves 4)
We all know exercise is, overall, good for health. But to get the benefits we must fuel correctly, which includes fuelling to support the immune system. Exercise puts a stress on the body and if the nutrients we need to support the immune system and exercise are in limited supply, both short term and chronic intense training sessions can result in immuno-compromise and increased inflammation. It is why elite athletes can be more susceptible to infection and illness. Inadequate sleep and stress also play a critical role in suppressing the immune system.
