Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder and it can be caused by infection or irritation. Needing to pee a lot, stinging and burning when you do go and low tummy pain can all be symptoms. Inflammation of the urethra (tube from bladder to outside), aka urethritis, can also give you the frequency, stinging and burning too. Runners can be susceptible for a few reasons. Read my blog (link in bio) for the details as to why and when to see a doctor. In the meantime, here’s some tips to help you avoid it. #runwell #healthyrunning #activehealth #healthybladder #runningtips

Set off along the Leeds Liverpool canal with the intention of just having a nice time. It’s always good to have a goal but it’s important to remember it doesn’t have to be a time or a distance. It can be data free! I was feeling so tired after a busy week but really wanted to run. Stopped for a while to have a drink and a snack and watch the swans. So easy to think you just need to keep going and not have any breaks. Not broken any records but mission accomplished. What was the target for your run today and did you reach it?

Up and out for parkrun. Back before the teens have even woken up 😂 Making time for your own exercise suddenly becomes so much easier when you can leave your children at home on their own. So many years of tag teaming with husband and planning ahead so we could get a run in. I often didn’t bother. Hang in there if this is still you - it gets better! I appreciate the fact I can go for a run whenever I want so much.

I really enjoyed my first parkrun back last week. It was worth the wait and all the runners and marshals were grinning widely. I did make a rookie mistake though - I wore shorts I haven’t run in for ages. It was hot and sweaty, they rode up and I got some chafing on my inner thighs - doh!😖 It was a good reminder to me that this used to happen a lot when I’d just started running. It’s easy to forget the small things that make a big difference. Here are some tips - I will follow my own advice now of course! What lessons did you learn on your running journey? What used to bother you but doesn’t now?

Sooooo good to be back at parkrun! Proud of my friend and fellow @261clublancaster coach Jude who did her first one with me today. Beautiful morning on Morecambe prom. It felt safe, spacious and rather wonderful. So many smiles on the faces of runners and marshals. Can’t wait for next week 😊 Did you parkrun today? #loveparkrun #runwell

A bit of first aid for you. With ‘extreme heat’ weather warnings in the U.K. it’s important to know how to prevent heat exhaustion becoming heat stroke. There’s full info on my blog and IGTV about these conditions and what the difference is. Heat stroke is potentially life threatening. Here are the steps to take to help someone who is suffering. #runwell #runsafe #runsafety
