As the dust begins to settle I can finally take a step back and appreciate the accomplishments of Team Emotional and their completion of the 2011 Ben Nevis Triathlon.
Top 10 Common Injuries from Running
Running places a huge amount of strain on your feet, ankles and knees which can lead to many sports injuries. Here is a list of the top 10 most common injuries suffered by runners.
Team Emotional Triathlon Fast Approaching
As the saying goes Քime waits for no manՠor in our case waits for no Team! Here we are only days away from our flagship event – The Big Ben Nevis Triathlon – and members are already proposing a truly Emotional day, and I havenִ even mentioned the heavy rain forecast outlined by the Met Office.
Team Emotional @PhysioRoom.com – How it all began!
The concept behind Team Emotional was born almost four years ago in what we had initially anticipated as being a leisurely stroll through some of the finest and most scenic views west Scotland had to offer along the Highland Way.
The Big Ben Nevis Challenge – What to expect …
Here’s some advice I prepared for the staff at PhysioRoom.com – Team Emotional – in light of our upcoming Ben Nevis triathlon. Use wisely and enjoy!
Back in the Saddle
Horse riding is a passion I have had from a very young age and, after a 12 month break, I am finally back in the saddle and loving every minute of it. ˔he only downside is the aches and pains from using muscles not accustomed to the job I suddenly asked them to do again. Stretches, keeping mobile and hot soaks in the bath (Deep Heat Bath Foam) helped me through it.
Sprained Ankle Update
As I recovered from my sprained ankle, I gradually reduced the wearing of an ankle support, until I wasnִ wearing it at all for speed sessions on the road and gentle training runs off road, but was not sufficiently confident to leave my ankle unsupported during longer or harder training sessions on the fells.

So then here we are again, 3 weeks since my last post but, am I 3 weeks fitter?? Hmmmmɠhard to say, but I doubt it ɠYou see, I֭ like a classic car in a way, wrapped up from the cold throughout the winter, stored in a nice warm protective environment scared to leave in case the best of the British weather chips away at my elegantly defined paint work and clogs my engine with the gritty remnants of an ice cold winter to forget. My knees hurt, my lips practically fall to bits and the whole experience is unpleasant to say the least. However, the tide is a turning and with it comes a new dawn, a new found surge of energy and enthusiasm; and like my faithful Red Jaguar 1971 E Type, I֭ out of the blocks spitting and spluttering along. Slowly but surely I֭ dragging my body kicking and screaming out of the doldrums into an athleteֳ world.
Treating the Most Common Sports Injury: A Sprained Ankle
Although I celebrated my 60th birthday in 2010, I am still active and competitive, these days concentrating mainly on running and cycling. To mark my birthday, I completed three big challenges:
-
- Ran the Pendle Way, a local long-distance footpath (43 miles) in 9 hours;
- Completed the Joss Naylor Lakeland Challenge (47 miles) in 14 hours;
- Cycled from Coniston to Interlaken (1,000 miles in 10 days) to take part in the Jungfrau Marathon, which I completed in 4hours 11 minutes.
