SELF CARE
Training for a race requires focus and dedication. However, while this is great in principle, us runners can be a stubborn bunch. All too often, we become so determined to stick to our training schedules that we end up putting our health at risk. Be honest: how often have you pushed through that little niggle, just so you could tick off the next run on your training plan? You might be lucky and end up none the worse, but chances are the more you push through aches, pains and colds, the more likely you’ll be to end up injured and out of action for months. But what if you took a more holistic approach?
