Strength training is UNDERRATED as a method of improving flexibility. This review and meta-analysis found: Heavy RE increases range of motion (bodyweight exercises did not) the same amount as traditional stretching. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36622555/

Turned on to watch World Athletics Championships on BBC Sport only to find due to the issues with 20km race walk it is a HipHop mix tape instead! Surely they could have put on something athletics related! #WorldAthleticsChamps #WorldAthleticsChampionships

Lovely to find this at the end of my long run today!

Come and work with us!

Talent doesn't always express itself right away. Some people's talent is that they are a high responder to training/learning. They need to spend the time doing the work before they can fully express their gift. We tend to overvalue those who show great initial promise.

If you're struggling to cope, please don't struggle alone 💛 Across the UK there are services, helplines and websites that can help and support you. Find something that works for you on our support services information pages 👇 🔗zerosuicidealliance.com/support-servic…

Great weekend of athletics special highlight was World Athletics Coaches Club on Saturday Loved hearing Frank Dick Seb Coe Emma Ross Laurent Meuwly Ryan Crouser + Helena Duplantis And catching up with scottishathletics coaches from BSAC Cambuslang Harriers Gala Harriers

Just seen this amazing documentary about masters athletes by Alex Rotas @FindItFilm Danielle Sellwood. World Athletics often hear about athletics needing to tell a story - masters athletics would be an absolute goldmine! #athletics #MastersAthletics youtu.be/c7K4OkmHX40?si…

Disappointing festive hours at Xcite in Winchburgh barely open before Christmas and completely closed after! Not great for those trying to stay active during the holidays. So much for 'A more Active Scotland'! and their own vision and values! #FestiveFrustration #StayActive
