What my clients say about me

“Kim was absolutely fantastic helping me train and get in fit shape for my first marathon. Not to mention extremely patient with my injury filled road leading up to the run…

Sam England

“Kim did a fantastic job helping me prepare for an international curling competition. I had never been much of a gym enthusiast let alone engaged in a dedicated training program…

Bob Sherrard

“I’ve been working with Kim for over two years now and she’s successfully guided me through two iron distance triathlons, half and full marathons, collecting several personal bests along the way…

About me

My name is Kimberley, but I go by Kim.

Ever since I was 13, I knew I wanted to help athletes achieve their goals. High performance sport is what makes me tick.

I currently help runners build stronger, more resilient bodies through a membership programme which provides strength and run-specific training, I treat everyone as if they’re an elite athlete because it doesn’t matter to me whether you’re striving for an Olympic medal or a ParkRun PB.

How I look after my mental health 🧠. Last autu

How I look after my mental health 🧠.

Last autumn, when I was feeling super stuck, sad and lonely bring in nature helped me feel more hopeful.

In March 2020 I lost my job, dream and team which led to a deep grief. I’m still dealing and learning to live with it now.

Fortunately Bath is exquisite in autumn. I’d try to get out for a walk every day. The colours in the park were stunning 🍁🍂.

I remember thinking that if nature can embrace change, withstand losing everything and come back just as dominant then so could I.

It’s cheesy but it gave me hope which I desperately needed at the time.

Sharing my experience of the mental health benefits of nature in honour of #mentalhealthawarenessweek. I’d love to hear how nature makes you feel. Tell me in the comments.

However, if you’re struggling and time in nature isn’t going to cut it then please talk to someone and ask for help.

👀 Watch this if you have tight hips from runnin

👀 Watch this if you have tight hips from running…

▶️ Save to watch again (you got to do this stuff more than once!).

The hip joint is a key player when running - along with the ankle and knee it is part of the chain that allows triple extension to occur.

It is important to have healthy, mobile hips and doing so can aid your running as you'll have better range and a smoother gait to produce force through.

Traditionally we do a lot of flexion/extension stretching (think lunges), however I have recently been working on some mobility moves that emphasise external/internal rotation as these are often neglected.

✅Dynamic couch stretch x 6 each side
✅90/90 with external rotations x 6-8 each side
✅90/90 flow to kneeling x 6 each side

P.S. If you liked this, give it a share!

Wana bust some myths? Myth 1️⃣ Running is bad

Wana bust some myths?

Myth 1️⃣
Running is bad for your knees.

False ❌

Load from running when managed appropriately, does not cause long-term damage to the knee (osteoarthritis).

If you have bad knees, look at your training volume and hip abductor (glute) strength before assuming you shouldn’t run full stop.

Myth 2️⃣
Strength training makes you heavy.

FALSE again ❌

It is EXTREMELY slow and difficult to put on muscle...
For starters, you have to be in a calorie surplus (something runners aren’t known for!)

Any short-term changes are mostly due to muscle damage and associated swelling so don’t panic (they’re short term).

Strength training:
✅Improves running economy (O2 cost of exercise)
✅Increases force production
✅Reduces injury risk

It’s a must do if you’re an endurance athlete.

What other myths should I bust? Comment below 😊.

3️⃣ exercises to build stronger glutes for run

3️⃣ exercises to build stronger glutes for running!

✅ Save for when you’re feeling uninspired.

There are a million options out there but these are my current favourites. You can load or do these bodyweight. Both are challenging, but if you load, drop the reps to 8-10).

🍑Single-leg bridge iso hold (20-30 seconds each leg)
🍑Side clam bridge (12-15 reps each side)
🍑Single-leg hip thrust (12-15 reps)

Remember, neglecting to train your glutes can cause problems with your knees, back and hips - so don't forget them.

Got tight hips? Hip mobility exercises dropping on Thursday 🙌🏻

1️⃣ piece of advice if you’re returning to the gym this week…

✅When planning your training, plan as if you were going to repeat that session 2, 3, 4 times this week.

I don’t expect you to actually repeat it that often (if at all), but thinking like this is a good way to approach going back to the gym conservatively, as it will lower the intensity and volume of your sessions.

Comment below if you’re heading back to the gym or sticking with home workouts this week.

Whatever you choose, enjoy 💪🏻.
