Being injured or carrying a bit of pain without any clear path forward can feel incredibly isolating, especially when it’s experienced amidst genuine physical isolation. I’m sure there are people out there pushing themselves pretty hard, but I’m using this as a time to work on some weaknesses that have had me running with my foot slightly on the clutch, rather than full throttle.
I’ve often found that running is the easy part, with strength work the first thing to be let go when I’m tired, but now I see this as my chance to get back on top of things. My physio [Brad Beer] is based on the Gold Coast (about 1,100km away) but the online consults and app with all my exercises have given me some much-needed structure and accountability.

Ok, so you’re probably looking at the title and thinking what the? Let me explain…
To put this simply, bilateral movement refers to a two arm or two leg movement, whereas unilateral refers to a single arm or single leg movement. In other...
While training for a marathon, getting into trail running or tackling a first 5k, we often hear about the high injury rates and understand that there is a possibility of getting injured. We anticipate typical injuries such as a runner's knee or Achilles tendonitis, but what if our pain doesn't seem to fit any of the common categories? What if the sore spot and tender area don't match any running injuries we've heard about before? Peroneal tendinitis is one such condition, and although it's not as common as other types of tendon pain, it's still frustrating, especially when we can't pinpoint the exact source of the pain.
Even while this workout sounds difficult, it is important to keep in mind that 20 x 400m only equals 8 kilometers (approximately 5 miles) of hard running, making it comparable to a common exercise like five times a mile. The physical distance traveled is not as difficult as the mental strain of dividing it into numerous bits. Finding the appropriate mental state that combines restraint, calm, and focus is so essential. You will know you are prepared to race when you finish the workout feeling exhausted but victorious rather than fatigued.
Fitness enthusiasts and health experts increasingly turn to dynamic stretching as a crucial component of their pre-workout routine. Jessica Chellsen, DPT, CSCS, a respected physical therapist and the visionary behind Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy & Wellness, lauds the benefits of this active form of stretching. Dynamic stretching involves moving your muscles and joints through their full range of motion, engaging your entire body, and replicating movement patterns specific to your chosen sport or exercise.
