Guest blog post - Tina has written a blog about the 3 Biomechanics sessions she's had with Wilson's Workouts. Thank you so much for your feedback, Tina! Imagine – spending a Sunday morning out running through the beautiful parks of Amsterdam, afterwards stopping for a coffee with friends… and not being in pain! Not starting [...]
If you have been following what I have been up to, you will know that a couple of years ago I added cycling to my training regime and stepped into the world of triathlon. Today I want to tell you about my marginal gains this year. If you follow cycling, you will have heard how the [...]
On Saturday I completed my second last triathlon of the season, the Politie Triathlon (the one that I have been putting all my efforts into). I'd been watching quite a lot of sport during the week and I really took some inspiration from two athletes that I had seen. Interesting neither were British, which for me [...]
A few weeks ago I met with Michelle, founder of Mamahub, a space where parents come to seek advice on wellbeing and healthy living. Rather than using a buggy, pushchair or pram, Michelle wears her baby Cara. Baby wearing is centuries old and has been practiced around the world in many different cultures. Working with [...]
In one of my previous blogs posts I spoke about my training leading up to my first ultra marathon, the D33, in Scotland. On Saturday I did it! My last week of training had me running a 70 minute run on Tuesday. I felt amazing and ready to go and then on Thursday I ran [...]
An ultra marathon is any race longer than a marathon, longer than 42.2 km. Last year, after running the Barcelona marathon, I felt I could run a bit further. How much further, I don’t know yet… But I am now training for a 33 miles (53km) ultra marathon, from Aberdeen (North east of Scotland) to [...]
One of the hippest locations in Amsterdam at the moment - De Hallen has been open for quite a while now, but they only had their official opening on the 6th of February. Instead of their usual weekend Local Goods Market, they organised a special Neighbourhood Market, inviting organisations and entrepreneurs from the neighbourhood to [...]
A couple of weeks ago, Natalie from PhysioMatters and I gave a workshop at ATAC - the Amsterdam Triathlon and Cycling club. I’ve been a member at ATAC for more than a year now, and the idea to give a workshop there was a way of giving something back to the club. Also, I know [...]
One of my clients started Personal Training sessions with a sore back - he had been suffering from back pain for quite a while. When we started training, he was doing a lot of compensation and was feeling discomfort in his back even during basic exercises. I screened him and found where the dysfunction was [...]
The Olympisch Stadionloop happened this year on the 9th of November, and Wilson's Workouts went with a team of seven - Boot Campers Emma and Julie, Buggyfitters Ann, Marie and Jill (well done, guys!), Brian and I. We all ran 10 km and all had lots of fun. It was a beautiful day, with perfect conditions and [...]
