GROW GRACEFULL Your monthly infusion of good stuff

Hello Reader,

I hope you're well and have had a great month with some R&R before routines resume?! I've been on the road again, delivering a technique workshop in Trafford (got another coming up in Huddersfield), 3 days of 'Wild Athletics' at Chatsworth House and now back to St Moritz working alongside Tokyo-bound athletes. So wonderful to catch up with fellow Hallamshire Harriers Calli Hauger-Thackery and her Dad - both legends of the club! I'm also excited to have announced the dates for my Peak Technique Retreat (Oct 24th-26th). And I'll finish the month off with a webinar tomorrow 6:30pm GMT about 'What I wish I'd known from the start'. Be great to have you there! (Or catch up with the recording I email out afterwards...)

As ever, read on for up-coming events and hidden discounts🤫. Be great to connect...

Go Gracefully,

Those aforementioned Tokyo-bound athletes are due to face some hot and humid conditions out at the World Champs in a few weeks time. Many have been training in heat chambers and/or sitting in hottt baths. The stats below speak for themselves! Now lets hope the athletes can let their legs do the talking!

This month we took a break on the ​Grow Stronger programme​, ready to resume with our 'Whole Goals' workshop on Sun 7th Sept where we'll review, renew and pursue goals, fresh for the new season. I have 5 spaces left on the programme if you're interested...

Podcast: Simple Breathing Technique to Reduce Stress Fast - James Nestor

​Reading his book 'Breath' opened my eyes to the hugely untapped benefits of breathing for athlete performance, and moreover wellbeing (my excerpts here). Listening to this 20min podcast renewed my interest in doing a breathwork qualification...

Lack of strength and conditioning is one of the top 3 reasons people get injured (together with progressing too quickly and not recovering enough). Tick that 💪 box with my 20min, running-specific workouts. Option 2 is for dodgy knees (or if you're tired).

This month we have dumbbells and plyos (plus warm-up and stretch)
