THE RUNNER’S GUIDE TO THE MENOPAUSE
Whatever age you are, you owe it to yourself to know all there is to know about the menopause. Because it hasn’t been talked about openly until recently, lots of women only begin to understand it when they’re in the middle of it. The truth is it’s something that can have a massive effect on our lives, our health and our running. Understanding menopause is the first step in our journey towards a happier, healthier and more fulfilled life post-menopause

Prevent PF
We’ve all had sore feet after a run. In most cases, all you need to do is rest for a day or two, but if you frequently suffer from sore feet it might be your body trying to tell you something. Looking after your feet when you start to experience pain can help you prevent more severe problems such as plantar fasciitis down the line
