What I learnt from marathon training ⬇️ 1. Running Specific Strength. So important to help prevent injury from the increasing load on your joints and also to make you a stronger runner. 2. Following a running program. So so important, especially when training for a marathon and having a certain time goal in mind. This will help gradually increase your load overtime. 3. Zone 2 Training. Making sure all of your long/easy runs are done with a low heart rate will make your body more efficient and increase mitochondrial function (the power house of the cell). Every single one of my long runs were a minute slower than my race day pace. 4. Fuelling your runs. This includes during and outside of your runs. Learning to 'eat to run', rather than 'run to eat'. 5. Discipline. Probably one of the most important points and something I had to practice a lot. Yes someone can write you a program, but you have to show up every weekend and run for 3 + hours, regardless of conditions. 6. Running for time over distance. We used this for my long run to slow down but also just get used to the time on the legs. 7. Quality running shoes. Good shoes make the world of difference. You should have a shoe rotation for different styles of runs. 8. Recovery. So so important to prevent injury and keep you performing at your 100%. #Running #hybrid #hybridathlete
2025 🤝 Hybrid Training Throughout this year, I have truley fallen in love with this training style. From running marathons to competing in crossfit competitions and hyrox’s, I have loved being able to do it all. With training for so many different things, I am constantly challenged and inspired to move my body in different ways. There is no better feeling than accomplishing something you didn’t think you could. That is why, I have teamed up with other @MOVE WITH US coaches to bring you the Move challenge. 4 training styles, 6 weeks. My style is of course hybrid and is a brand new 6 weeks of programming. Sign ups are live now through the link in my bio. Starts 16th of Jan 🔒 - - #training #hybrid #hybridathlete #gym #Running

Toes to bar progressions 🤝 Strict toes to bar is one of those movements that takes a lot of time and strength to master. Personally, it took me at least 6 months of strengthening my core and getting good at the basic movements before levelling up. If your goal is to get your strict toes to bar, start incorporating these movements into your sessions. Make sure your reps are slow and controlled and you are actively engaging through your core. When trying to get your hanging core movements, don’t forget to engage your lats to avoid excessive swinging. I found my toes to bar also got easier when my lats become stronger. My 6 week Hybrid programs are available in the @MOVE WITH US and will be the perfect way to start your 2025 👀 - - #hybrid #hybridtraining #toestobar #form #formvideo #gym #abs
Introducing the MOVE Challenge 👀 Throughout my training journey, I have learnt what works for me and what doesn't. I used to just go to the gym, lift weights with no structure, then leave. Whereas now, I love to do it all and train with intent. Whether that is heavy strength, high intensity or running, I love a routine that includes it all. Furthermore, in the Move challenge, I am bringing you a BRAND NEW 6 WEEK HYBRID PROGRAM @MOVE WITH US . This training split is similar to Hybrid level 1, however, the strength days are higher intensity and will challenge you that little bit more. Think sweaty metcons, EMOMs, rounds for time & finishers 🥵 This New Year, choose from four unique training styles and join a team that aligns with your goals and lifestyle. 1. Busy Girl Sculpt with Coach Rachel 2. Hybrid with Coach Annabelle. 3. Full Body Strength with Coach Olivia. 4. 4. Pilates Fusion with Coach Milly. The Challenge begins January 13th and will be available exclusively via Platinum Membership. 2025 is the year you MOVE for you. Join a team, commit to your journey and achieve real results.
