SUMMARY:The 5 Most Common Injuries for Runners
DESCRIPTION:  \nIts a part of the parcel\, if you are a runner\, or starting to get into running\, you will almost definitely get an injury at some stage. Unfortunately that’s the reality of it all. There are many injuries that runners can get but there’s a few that are more common than others. Have you suffered from any of these? \n1: Runners Knee\n \nRunners knee\, or Patellofemoral pain syndrome to be official\, is characterized by an aching pain around and behind the kneecap. It is thought to account for 50% of all injuries attained by runners\, making it the most common of all injuries for runners. \nSymptoms include aching behind and around the kneecap\, a dull pain at the top of the kneecap or a sharp pain between the bottom of the femur and top of the knee when bent \nRunner’s knee can be caused by a few things\, most of which are avoidable\, but not in the forefront of every runners mind. A simple increase in exercise can cause runners knee. Its important to build the strength of your muscles around the knee as part of your training.\nMalalignment between the kneecap and femur and weak or unbalanced muscle groups around the knee are partly accountable too. Conditioning your strength and flexibility in the hips\, quads and hamstrings will help prevent this. \n2: Plantar Fascitis\nPlantar fascitis refers to an injury to the muscle on the base of your foot\, between your heel and the arch of your foot. The pain ranges from a nigly annoying injury\, to something more reminiscent to having a nail driven through your heel with every step.\nSymptoms include a deep ache in the arch of your foot or in the middle of the bottom of your heel. It can also be a sharp stabbing pain in the same area. The pain can worsen when climbing the stairs or standing on your toes as you stretch out the arch of your foot. \n \nIncorrect footwear can have major affect on this injury. Poor arch support in you shoes will over extend the muscle as it drops\, causing pain. Maybe invest in quality insoles to protect arch of your feet if you have issues. Stretching out the fascia is important too. Sitting down\, cross your leg over and bend the toes back\, holding for 10 seconds. \n“Prevention is better than a cure\, so train wisely.” \n3: Shin Splints\nShin splints are another injury that virtually every runner will get at least once over their lifetime. Caused by inflammation of the muscles or tendons around the shinbone\, its as characterized by a sharp pain anywhere down the front of your shin. Occasionally\, there may be swelling\, and is often worse in the morning than in the evening. Shin splints must not be confused with a stress fracture. Stress fractures are generally more localised and better in the morning than in the evening\, but if not treated\, can cause serious damage. \nShin splints are often caused by improper footwear which causes an imbalance of muscles and tendons along the shin. It’s also caused by an increase of intensity in training or a change in conditions\, ie. more road running or running on concrete rather than track running. \nSo be sure to gradually build up your fitness and mileage\, focusing on building strength in your muscles slowly. Make sure you have the right footwear and recover correctly\, stretching properly after training. \n4: Achilles Tendinitis\nAchilles Tendinitis is an overuse injury causing pain\, inflammation and or degeneration of the achilles tendon at the back of the ankle. The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to the foot and inserts at the back of the heel. This injury occurs when there is a sudden increase in training\, be it the intensity or distance. This tendon is used when you walk\, run\, jump or push up on your toes\, so its vital that this is an area to stretch and prepare before doing any physical activity. \nLight stretches in the morning will ease out some of the stiffness that builds up with muscle injuries at night time. Otherwise\, the age old R.I.C.E. method is a recommended treatment plan. Ease back yourself into training\, gradually building up the miles to avoid a re-occurrence of the injury. \n5: ITBS (Iliotibial band syndrome)\nITBS is an injury affecting the iliotibial band\, which runs from the hips\, down the outside of your thigh and connecting to your patella (kneecap). It is most common after an increased period of intensive training and is felt on the outside of the knee or the IT band itself on your thigh. \nIt is as common in seasoned runners as it is with beginners due to the nature of the injury. The increase in mileage places a stress on the legs that they aren’t capable of dealing with. The high load on the ITB causes inflammation and pain.  Other causes include an increase in speed\, change of running surface\, increased hill work or how you schedule your runs. So before we talk treatments\, its important to say that prevention is better than cure\, so train wisely. Increase your training gently\, run at the right pace\, mix up running surfaces and remember that recovery days after long runs are just as important than the runs themselves.\nThe best solution for ITBS? Rest. Rest will help the inflammation around the ITB to settle. You may want to add in ice and anti-inflams to help this process. \nOverall\, the most common cause of injuries to runners is over-training.  With all training\, there must be a rest period. This doesn’t give you the excuse to call everyday a rest day in between a short run a week. But correct warm ups\, and warm downs mixed with rest for the muscles can prevent the majority of injuries. Correct footwear and cross training to focus on building strength in the leg muscles is vital to improve your fitness levels. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Keeping Motivated This Winter
DESCRIPTION:  \nAs October draws to a close and the clocks go back\, Halloween will come and go and the winter will officially begin. Events that were goal setters for the year are over. Christmas decorations will fly up much too early for most people’s liking. And the mornings and evenings will become crisp\, dark and cold. It’s often the time of year that many people go into an exercise hibernation.  \n \nThose cosy nights under a thousand duvets\, with the fire lighting and a selection box to hand might sound oh so sweet now\, but blink and summer will be around the corner. You won’t have stepped foot near a gym in months and will have to work even harder to get that summer body back in tip top nick. But here’s a few idea’s to get motivated and stay in good condition all winter long. \nGrab a buddy.\nHaving a workout buddy to give you that extra motivation to get out and endure the elements over the winter can really help. So whether it’s a friend\, housemate\, or work colleague\, bounce off each others energy and get moving.  \nMake it part of your routine.\nPick a time of day\, morning or evening and head to the gym. Or go for a lunch time run with a colleague. Running in daylight will gain you exposure to some Vitamin D which is good for bones\, skin and muscles. \nSure goals are great\, but when the motivation isn’t entirely there in the winter\, focus on using exercise to make you feeling good instead of looking good. \n  \nJoin a class\nOften the hardest part about going to the gym is putting your foot in the door. Joining a class can be a good motivational idea if you’re not that pushed about working out without any specific goal over the winter. Whether that’s a crossfit\, boxercise\, spinning or circuit class\, you’ll find some way of staying in shape. \nThe Trap\nAnother Idea is to book yourself into a class or event that has a booking and a cancellation fee. This will add that little bit of extra motivation for you to attend and make the most out of it. \nGet in Gear\nWith the winter morning and nights getting increasingly darker and colder\, you’ll probably love to be curled up in bed or on the couch instead of going for a run. But getting the right gear\, a technical baselayer\, running tights or a fleece can help in you not feeling the elements so much and make you enjoy your workout a bit more. Gloves and hats too cover the extremities are worthwhile investments too. \nBe Safe\, Be Seen \nAlongside all of this\, being visible is essential for winter running. It’ll give you confidence that you’ll be Okay to exercise outdoors in the dark. There’s two types of visibility here; Too see & Too be seen. Clothing that’s fluorescent or that has reflective strips are ideal but a headlamp or flashing armbands are great too. Similarly if you’re a cyclist\, investing in a set of bike lights shouldn’t be a option\, its a necessity.  \nDon’t keep focusing on the scales\nTry not to focus so much on getting down to a specific weight or getting as lean as possible. Sure goals are great\, but when the motivation isn’t entirely there in the winter\, focus on using exercise to make you feeling good instead of looking good. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a real thing. So beat away the winter blues with exercise that makes you happy. After all\, there are several studies show that show the links between exercise and better moods\, like this one. \nTry something new\, like yoga.\nSometimes change is good. So why not try something different to entertain you. Join a yoga class if you haven’t done it before. Yoga can help with your mind and your soul as well as your body. Research has shown that joint pain can peak in the winter months\, especially with the colder morning and evenings. Yoga exercises and poses maintains joint mobility and increases circulation while loosening stiffness within the joints. It’s an effective relief for muscle and joint pain throughout the winter months and definitely worth a try. \n  \nEnter an Event for Early Next Year\nWinter marks the end of event season in a lot of sports. But entries for events next year are already open. By committing to an event in running\, adventure race or cycling sportif\, you’ll gain the motivation to stay fit. Here on Activiti\, we’ve got plenty of events for you to have a look at and get involved in\, check them out here. \nWorkout at home\nWith workout apps flooding the app and play store\, there’s plenty of online platforms that can assist you doing a few exercises from your living room or bedroom. Some apps can link up to a smart tv and you can participate in a vitual class from your living room\, perfect for when its chucking it down outside! \nSo away with the excuses\, there’s plenty of ideas out there to keep you motivated and stay shape all winter long! \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Surviving a Marathon
DESCRIPTION:  \nWith the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon taking place on Sunday the 29th of October\, many people might be getting a few nerves as the race approaches. Especially if it’s your first marathon. Make no mistake\, running a marathon is an immense achievement\, so don’t be nervous\, be excited. \nTo get you through the next 10 days and Marathon day\, we’ve compiled a few things you can do to make race day go as smooth as a marathon race day possibly can. \n \nTake it easy the week leading up to the race.\nThere are no gains to be made from cramming in tough last-minute training runs when the best thing you can do at this point is begin to taper your training. Coming up to race day you want to be feeling strong and energised\, not burnt out. Tapering your training does not by any stretch of the imagination mean you can lay on the couch for the week. Drop the intensity of your training and instead of focusing on high mileage\, spend more time stretching\, resting well and staying as healthy as you possibly can. \nBe Prepared\nIn order to keep a level head and make sure everything goes to plan for the race\, plan ahead. You’ve spent the last few months training so wake up on the day relaxed and prepared. Lay your kit )or costume) out the day before\, make sure your lucky or favourite pair of socks are washed and ready to go. Check the weather forecast and prepare accordingly. Make sure you have your energy gels or sweets good to go- also be sure that you’ve tried them out previously. Plan your breakfast the day of the race\, and surround yourself with positive\, encouraging people. \nThe Sense of achievement is far more powerful than the sense of pain you might feel at that given moment. \nDo Your Stretches\n \nYou don’t need to be told this\, but here’s a great little guide to a few stretches that runners should be doing. Runners use a large portion of the body’s muscles to help propel them forward. The swinging motion of the arms gives them momentum to move along swiftly. The lower body muscles\, particularly the hamstrings and quadriceps\, are critical in giving the runner the power he needs to run. Safely stretching these muscles before and after each run is crucial\, because if the muscles are too tight\, injuries are likely to occur. \nPace Yourself\nBe careful in the first few miles of the marathon. Runners around you won’t be running at the same pace as you. The best marathons are run at a consistent\, even pace so a top tip is to work out your target mile splits based on your estimated finish time. Try not to get caught up in the electrifying atmosphere at the start and set off too fast – you need to have a realistic target race pace and stick to it.  \n\nCheck this out- The Running Documentary you need to see; Breaking2 \n\nMind over matter\n \nThere’s no doubt that running for 26.2 miles is a true test of your stamina and being physically fit is only half of the challenge – the rest is mental\, and if you can stay focused you will cruise through it. If your critical inner voice starts telling you that you are no good\, you aren’t going to make it\, it will just highlight the fears and anxieties. When your legs feel like they’re melting around mile 20\, expel your mind of negativity\, feed off the energy of the crowd\, and think about the medal around your neck. The Sense of achievement is far more powerful than the sense of pain you might feel at that given moment. \n  \n  \nSo there you have it! Best of luck to all participating in the Dublin Marathon\, all that training\, all that time\, it’ll all be worth it.

SUMMARY:Top tips for Cycling
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhether you’re a seasoned cycling veteran or just starting out in the sport\, these are essential tips for you to follow everytime you go for a ride! \n \n1: Get the gear!\nOne of the first things you should purchase if you’re entering the cycling sphere is a pair of cycling shorts. Trust me. You’ll understand if you’ve ever gone on a ride of any significance without them. Besides padded shorts\, a helmet\, cycling jacket\, cycling shoes and glasses should be on your list. Glasses not only protect you from the sun\, but bugs\, rain\, muck and debris that might flick up from the ground; a worthwhile investment. \n2: Clean your Bike!\n\nNot the most romantic part of cycling but if in bad weather\, or even just over time\, your bike gets dirty. Not cleaning this dirt can lead to wear and damage of the mechanical parts of the bike. The cost of repairing the damaging if often FAR greater than the cost of buying some bike specific cleaning products and give it a scrub once and a while. \n3: Check your bike before you move!\nBefore every ride\, be sure to do a small check over your bike to make sure its road worthy. We don’t mean it needs a full service\, but there’s a few things to look for. Firstly\, check your tyre pressure. If you’re in any doubt its somewhat flat\, pump it up!! Secondly\, check your wheels are secure. Might seem silly now\, but if you regularly take your front wheel off to put it in the car\, just double check you tightened it after. Always make sure your chain is in good nick as well. You don’t want it busting on you miles away from home. \n\nCheck this out\, 8 Tips for Running \n\n4: Fuel up!\nNever leave for a ride of anything over 20km without a bit of fuel with you. Banana’s\, energy bars or jellys are hot favourites among cyclists. Energy gels are very good too. Always be sure try the gels out in training before using them in a race. Some are known to give people upset stomachs if they aren’t used to them. Keeping hydrated is essential too and can help immensely in preventing cramp. \n5: Know the rules of the road!\n \nCyclists love to blame drivers for anything that may happen on the road. But cyclists have a certain responsibility when using the road too. So always be sure to be predictable\, don’t be weaving in and out of moving traffic like a mad man. Use lights if riding or commuting at night or in poor light and stay off the footpath if possible\, the road is just as much yours as it if for cars. \nLike this article?

SUMMARY:Rise of the Triathlon
DESCRIPTION:  \nJust how popular are triathlons in Ireland? \nThe popularity of triathlons in Ireland and across the globe has risen greatly over the past few years. Triathlon Ireland’s work in building the sport’s stock has been second to none\, raising the amount of club members to nearly 18\,000 with 90 clubs across the length and breadth of the country. \n\nParticipation\nTo increase the amount of Irish participants in professional level events is crucial to the success of their future plans. Triathlon Ireland’s strategy to do this starts with junior level. In 2016 alone\, there was a 70% increase in Junior memberships. Of the 89 clubs in Ireland\, 40 have junior sections. The efforts to increase the popularity of the sport among young athletes will surely prove its worth in the future. \n  \nTaoiseach Leo Varadkar taking part in the Dublin City Triathlon in 2017 \nProfessional\nThe Professional Ireland had 2 triathletes at the 2016 Rio Olympics\, and in the 2017 Ironman World Championships\, will have 20 triathletes taking part. Even our parathiathletes are making competitive gains with 2 podiums in the Paratriathlon World Cup. \nInfluence\nWith over 200 events in Ireland throughout the year\, its easily one of the most popular sports in Ireland. So much so\, that’s its popularity has had an effect on adventure races too. Athletes\, professional and amateur\, test themselves across similar disciplines. Kayaking and trailing running takes precedence over swimming and road running. Adventure races such as the Gaelforce events and Quest events have had an increase in participants year on year. \nIf you’re interested in taking up triathlon as a sport or just willing to take part in a triathlon to conquer a personal goal visit Triathlon Ireland’s website.

SUMMARY:8 Tips for Running.
DESCRIPTION:  \n#4 \nRunning can bring a sense of freedom to us. A balanced healthy lifestyle is important and when the gym and a treadmill doesn’t cut it for you\, then the great outdoors is always free to enjoy. Here’s a few tips to get you out there.\n1: Look the part\, feel the part\, be the part \nOne of the biggest stumbling blocks for people getting into running or health and fitness in general is the cost of all the gear. But a decent pair of running shoes\, baselayers or even fitness watches can really help you in achieving your goals. Shoes are one of the biggest expenses\, but probably the most vital pieces of equipment you’ll need. An increase in comfort means an increase in the chances of you achieving your goal and a decrease in the chances of injury. \n2: Podcasts instead of music. \nIf you tend to prefer running solo rather than in a group or with a buddy\, try listening to a podcast instead of a playlist. Getting lost in a conversation or topic you have an interest in can take your mind off how far you have to run\, or how far you have ran. Podcasts can help you maintain a steady rhythm rather than running to a beat of a song that changes every few minutes. Audiobooks are also another option. \n3: Take it easy\, grow into your own rhythm. \nNever start your run in the rhythm you’ll be in after few kilometers. You’ll end up burning yourself out before you’ve gotten sufficiently warmed up and will have a higher chance of feeling sore post run. Start at a lower rhythm and progress into a comfortable and steady pace for yourself. This also links into our next point. \n \nLearn to enjoy it\, use it as a method of adventure. \n4: Warm up- Warm down \nA common mistake- stretching cold muscles. This can often cause more harm than good. Starting your run with a gentle jog and then stretching out your muscles before continuing your run will be beneficial for you and your body. Do a few ankle rolls\, hip rotations and knee circles to loosen the joints without straining cold muscles. As well as this\, take 5 minutes after your run to sufficiently warm down. A light jog or walk mixed with light stretching or a foam roller can massively improve how you’ll post run. \n5: Hydration is key \nDrink at least a glass of water a half hour before heading out to prevent dehydration. If you going a slightly longer distance\, think about taking a water bottle or going on a route that has a water stop. Staying hydrated will help keep cramp away. \n6: Add short uphills: \nHills require strength and endurance\, so if you practice them during your training\, you’ll develop speed and muscle power. Hill sprints will increase flexibility in your muscles and tendons\, which reduces your risk of injury.  \n7: Know the course you’re racing \nIf you’ve entered a race\, it is always a good idea to have run the course before you race it. Know the inclines\, declines and areas that you may suffer. This way you can adjust your pace so you’ll be ready for the tough areas. You’ll be able to pick up the pace in the last quarter and finish strong. Passing runners that might have burnt themselves out is always a boost of confidence. \n8: Have fun with it. \nThe most important part of running\, don’t treat it like a chore. Learn to enjoy it\, use it as a method of adventure. Getting into running may seem tough at the start\, but once your reach a certain fitness level\, the challenges it brings don’t seem like challenges anymore\, but just another step on the road. Take your training steady and improve bit by bit. \n \n

SUMMARY:Making a splash in Cork City
DESCRIPTION:\n\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\n    google_ad_client: "ca-pub-1898185252404355"\,\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\n  });\n\n#3 \nThe idea of lifting heavy weights and running for hours on a treadmill may not appeal to many people. For a lot of us\, joining a gym or health and fitness club is about keeping a balanced lifestyle\, a mix of health and relaxation.

SUMMARY:Water\, 10 Reasons to Drink Up
DESCRIPTION:  \nWater. H2O. Uisce. It’s all the same stuff. You‘ve probably heard or been told to drink water because it’s “good for you”. But exactly how is it good for you and why? The reasons that drinking water is good for you vary\, from aiding your digestive system to clearing your mind and allowing you to think clearer and amazingly helping to ease back pain.  \nHere’s 10 reasons why water is the essential element of life. \n\nFluid balance.The human body contains roughly 60% of water. Drinking water maintains the body’s fluid balance\, which helps transport nutrients\, maintains body temperature and digest food.\nImmune system. Drinking water in the morning can help rejuvenate and support the body’s immune system. People who regularly drink water and less likely to fall ill than those who don’t.\nWeight lose. Believe it or not\, drinking water can help you lose weight. Water can make you feel full\, and as a result\, make you consume less calories. \nMetabolism. As well as making you consume less calories\, water even speeds up metabolism\, meaning you can burn more calories. By regularly drinking water\, it will lead to an increase in the rate in which you burn calories as opposed to storing them as fat.\nIced water\, although slightly\, can attribute to losing even more calories. Studies have shown that your body expends energy and calories to raise your body temperature up to normal after taking in that icy cool glass of water. Mind you\, it does only attribute to 8 calories\, still though\, marginal gains and all that.\nMuscle aid. Water helps act as a lubricant around people’s muscles and joints which helps prevent against cramping. This allows you to work out for longer\, and harder\, contributing to help build muscle tone. A study in 2005 by the “Journal of Athletic Training” found that dehydration can increase the severity of delayed onset muscle soreness. For some\, not drinking enough water may even cause this pain. \nWater helps synthesize protein\, which is the building block of muscle. If you cell’s don’t have enough water in them\, Protein synthesis can be delayed\, meaning that your body may even start to break down muscle tissue\, making your muscles weaker.\nWater creates a neutral environment in the body when ingested. It is crucial in the elimination of toxic substances from your body. Urine is the body’s way of getting rid of acidic solutions that aren’t essential\, and water is mandatory in its formation.\nOur minds need proper hydration to. Not drinking enough water can lead to your brain cells to loose efficiency. And can impair short term and long term memory. It can also affect our mood\, headaches and cause confusion. \nWater can prevent back pain. The disks in our spine\, which function as a shock absorber for all that we put our backs through everyday have two parts: an outer\, flexible but very tough ring\, which is filled with a gelatinous substance. This inner substance is primarily water. So keep up your water intake if you want to keep your disks hydrated and free of back pain.\n\n  \nA few tips to help you keep up your water intake. \n\nBuy a reusable water bottle you like\, you’ll be more likely to carry with you to work\, in the car or wherever you may be.\nKeep a bottle of water on your desk in work\, if it’s in reach and in front of you\, you’ll be more likely to drink it.\nDrink a glass of water in the morning before you leave the house. It will kick start your metabolism and encourage you to drink throughout the day.\nFlavor your water with a lime or lemon slice. Also try mint leaves or an orange slice.\n\n \n
