Autumn colours are suddenly here and thoughts now turn to those autumn races. With the cooler weather, the distances are back and with trails ahoy, no two runs can ever be the same underfoot!

A change in environment can negatively impact the mindset but whatever the weather, you know deep down that you got this and you can do this.

💪 The importance of strength training for runners

Becoming a better runner doesn’t always mean running more. What you do away from the miles can make a big difference too.

Next up in our series of helpful training guides with our training partner URUNN, Team GB athlete, elite marathoner and URUNN Coach Charlotte Purdue explains the importance of strength training for runners and three reasons why it deserves a place in your training:

🛡️ Help prevent injuries: Strengthening the muscles, tendons and ligaments that support every stride.

⚡ Improve your running economy: Helping your body become more efficient and waste less energy as you run.

🚀 Unlock that extra ‘pop’: Developing the power and spring that can help you run faster.

There’s plenty more to it than simply lifting weights, including how much you should be doing and why doing too much can actually work against your running.

Looking back on a fantastic Southend Half Marathon in June! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

An incredible 2,704 runners crossed the finish line, helping to raise an amazing £214,000 for Havens Hospices. 💙

A huge achievement from everyone who took part, helping Havens Hospices continue providing specialist care and support to local people and their families.

And the support continues this October at the Chelmsford Marathon & Half Marathon, this time supporting Little Havens, which provides specialist care for babies, children and young people.

If you missed out on Southend, or simply fancy another challenge for this local cause, grab your place and join us in Chelmsford this October! 🏅

As thoughts turn towards autumn, it can be a time to check in with your targets and goals. For each of us, the success against these targets will vary, but there is nothing wrong in resetting the goal or pushing on with the existing one. Appraisal of goals is what keeps us moving forward - just ask the views of an Olympic legend!

We're all competitive in some way, shape or form, be it with ourselves, with friends or even rivals.

So many words have been written about achieving goals, PBs and so on, but in order for those to happen, we have to be working on improving ourselves. Keep working on you and the magic will happen!
