Although Pilates can look a lot like ‘just stretching’ it is in fact a integrated strength and flexibility system that focuses on building deep core strength, body and mind awareness and muscle balance. A functional way to train Pilates complements running by developing strength from the inside out and creating a balanced body capable of running further, faster or for longer. Running is a high impact sport, stability and core strength can help mitigate your injury risk.

Building strength around the hips is like reinforcing the foundations of a house. Your pelvis sits at the centre of your posture, and when the glutes and deep hip stabilisers are weak, the lower back, knees and even shoulders often compensate. Strong hips help keep the pelvis balanced, support a neutral spine, and reduce that familiar swayback or tucked-under stance many desk-bound bodies drift into. When the hips are stable and powerful, the rest of the body can stack more efficiently above them, making upright posture feel supported rather than strained.

Four tips for a successful day. 1. What do you reach for? When the alarm goes off if you are grabbing your phone to scroll the news, messages or Facebook you a missing a magical moment in the day when your dopamine levels are high and the possibilities for setting your day up to be great are endless. As soon as you reach for your phone, you have wasted that opportunity. So instead try these in the morning: • Ten minutes stretching • Duo lingo and learn a language • Go out for a run / ride / walk • Ten minutes meditation • Eat breakfast in the garden Doing this in the morning instead of scrolling sets you up for a good day. 2. Good day? Bad day? It is YOUR choice. No one makes you have a bad day. That’s up to you! If you start the day by scrolling, then get up 5 minutes later than planned, so you leave for work in a rush, hit traffic so you are then late for work, the whole day can feel like its against you. The other morning my four year old had a bad night was up and down then woke at 5, my first thought was eurgh, today could be tricky, then I reframed it and thought No today we will have a brilliant day, I am so lucky to have Friday off with Ffion. You know what? We had an epic day, fueled by a few more snacks than normal but when it got to Friday evening we had, had a blast and I truly believe it’s because I changed my perspective on the day. Try it, let me know if it works for you? 3. Fuel or fumes? Quite frankly this means are you fueling your body for what you are doing? If the answer is no that you can guarantee at some point you will have a lapse in energy, motivation and lust for life. That’s your body saying I need fuel to operate, feed yourself for your daily purpose and don’t get hangry! 4. Scroll or sleep? At the end of a big day, you slide into bed and…. You chose do you scroll, driving up cortisol levels in your brain and making it harder to sleep or do you turn the light off and sleep soundly. Allowing your body to recover from the day and wake up ready to go the next. #morningroutine #pilatesinstructor #wellbeingtips #dopaminehit #pilates #pilatesforrunners #mentalhealth

Ten minutes of Pilates a day might seem small, but it works like a daily deposit into your strength bank. By consistently activating the deep core muscles through controlled, precise movements, you train your body to support your spine more efficiently rather than hanging off joints and ligaments. Over time, this improves core stability, encourages better alignment, and gently retrains posture so standing tall feels natural rather than forced. Little and often becomes powerful, especially when it is focused and intentional.
