+ H E A T W A V E T I P S 😎 + I’m not made for hot weather 🫠 But we’ve found some ways to make it more bearable. Especially living in a London flat where we’ve not yet managed to find the electric fans since we put them into storage…
How are you surviving?
And perhaps most importantly, please check in on others who might be struggling in this weather 💕

+ P A R K R U N + The Warrior tribe parkran (a legit verb, right?) Highbury Fields parkrun and the gorgeous Malahide Castle. There were blue skies and it was rather lovely and toasty. Malahide had a pretty unusual briefing (take a look at the 6th slide 😂)
Highbury Fields celebrated its 700th parkrun which is pretty epic. It was also pretty cool that there were cookies there too (swipe to see why!)
I don’t stray from my parkrun home that often. But if I did, which should I go to?

+ J O Y E O U S + I love the Mum Strong sessions. I love seeing mums do their first workout after having a baby and enjoying that feeling of moving with purpose and doing something for themselves.
I love seeing all the babies grow. And mums getting stronger and more confident.
I love the chats we have about that stubborn mum tum, how ridiculous it is that babies were once INSIDE YOU, the offloading about lack of sleep or how your body has changed, how cute babies are when they sigh (or sneeze. Or cry. Or do pretty much anything).
Yes, the sessions are about fitness and strength but they’re also about confidence, camaraderie, chats, self-worth and so much more.
Want to join?

+ S T R I P E S + Boys got some stripes today at training! I’d better watch out - they’ve got more than me now 🙈 Thanks and team for your great kids classes and all the fun challenges you set 😊
They also look like they’re as crap as me at tying their belts 😂
+ O F F I C I A L P A R K R U N N E R + This small creature turned four and randomly decided to do the Junior last week. I didn’t hold much hope since he’s said this in the past and then got “toooooo tired” 10 steps in and given up. Plus, he was wearing Crocs. That well-renowned footwear of athletes.
However, he was a machine! He ran! He walked! He skipped! He pretended I was Doc Oc out to get him! He was fuelled by high-fives and the thrill of me chasing him!
And not once did he ask for a carry.
Now that he’s four, he can get an official time. It was lucky I signed him up on the walk down else - because if you don’t have your barcode to scan, did you even do it?! 🤷🏻♀️🤔
parkrun is free to join and there’s lots of junior parkruns across the country and beyond. The junior run is for kids aged 4 - 14 years and it’s 2km.
His time was 20:29 which is excellent. What’s more excellent is that he did it with a smile on his face and enjoyed the experience.

+ S U R V I V E D ! + I’ve only ever trained at Apex so it was pretty scary trying out somewhere new. I had a million anxieties running through my head - what if everyone is so much better than me? (They were - and that’s ok!) What if it was too full on and I get utterly smashed?! (That didn’t happen but I had marked my escape route if I needed 😂) etc etc But I’m in Norwich for a few days and reckoned that would be a good opportunity to continue my training. Plus, I’ve somehow put on several kgs (damn you iced matchas and ice cream 🤪) and it’s good for my sanity.
Dear old Google pointed me to and the nogi session was a blast. Instructors were great, the group was friendly and I learned a couple of new moves which I’ll try incorporate into my future rolls 😊
Thank you Helton and team for a great experience!

+ P A R K R U N • P A R K W A L K • C H E E R I N G • H I K E S + The Warrior parkrun tribe had lots of fun on Saturday - from milestones, to parkwalks, to long hikes.
Congrats to Imogen for her 50th parkrun, and to Emma for getting a sub-30 run 🎉 Plus for his parkwalk PB 🤩
The Seven Sisters hike looks absolutely fabulous - anyone here done it?
Hope you’ve all had a fabulous weekend!
+ M I D U P P E R B A C K + Sitting at a desk, feeding your baby, or spending long amounts of time on your phone without moving much can lead to poor posture and tightness and that annoying feeling that you need to stretch it, move it… do something!
That’s likely the rhomboids, my friend. They sit between your shoulder blades and when they’re strong and function, they can help with posture, stabilising your shoulders and any time you need to pull things towards you.
These two exercises can help strengthen this area:
➕ BANDED ROWS TO FACE PULLS
➕ FACE PULLS WITH ROTATION
Try this at home, 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps.
And you don’t have to go crazy with this - a light, low resistance band is best to start with so you can nail the movement and reduce unnecessary strain while you build up strength.

+ P A R K R U N + My tribe were at 3 parkruns this weekend:
➕ - There was sunshine! Lovely to have along for her first parkrun in about 10 years and awesome to see there too. We nailed the jump 🤩
➕ Macquarie Uni parkrun - on the otherside of the world tailwalked and hung out with dinos 🦖
➕ Malahide Castle parkrun - Congrats to Emma for her fastest time this year 🥳 and thanks to Steve for pacing 🏃🏼
parkrun is the only running I’m doing at the moment and it’s my sanity run before I jump into the weekend and the chaos of looking after the kids 🤪
Why do you parkrun?

+ T H I R D S T R I P E ! + Thank you for my 3rd stripe. I shall treasure it and the ones before 😊
Have loved my BJJ journey so far, and look forward to continuing it.
