INJURY CLINIC

MY BEST RUN

If you have plantar fasciitis, can you run if you have added protection? • Many runners are unsure what they should do when the pain of plantar fasciitis attacks the soles of their feet. To run or not to run? Let our experts advise

“When I felt like my body was completely letting me down, I could still get up in the morning and go for a run, and that was really important to me.” • Sweaty Betty’s customer loyalty stands testament to its beautiful, hard-working kit.

START LINE INEQUALITY • “Wouldn’t it be great if start lines actually represented our society? That’s when everyone truly wins”

How to RUN FASTER • When you first take up running, it’s encouraging to see your times get quicker week after week but, after a while, you may start to see those times plateau and suddenly getting a parkrun PB seems much harder. We show you how to switch up your training to up your pace and hit your goals

THE SPEEDY 10K TRAINING PLAN • Right. There’s a time for ambling, rambling and scrambling, but there’s also a time for putting the pedal to the metal and injecting a bit more pace into your running. And autumn is the perfect time to do that, when the weather has cooled and there’s a fresh spring in your step. Let’s do this!
